My daughter is 9 months old and was taking around 24 to 30 ounces of formula in a 24 hour period. She is now only wanting to take 16-24 ounces (24 on a good day). She eats around 3-4oz jars of baby food a day and cereal once a day. Has anyone ever experienced this around this age and did anything help increase his/her ounces? hopefully this is enough info, this is my first question! haha.
Very normal. Once they eat solids, they decrease their formular intake.
Mine is 11 months and he did the same thing. But since I believe his main source of nutrition comes from formula I decided to decrease baby food and go back to his normal formula intake. It worked :)
Yes, it is totally normal for a child to drink less formula when they start eating solids. They feel full for longer periods also. Can u imagine how fast she would become overweight if she had solid plus the same amount of formula? Don't forget to give her water too.
My 9 mo old is eating about 20-24 oz a day. She eats several jars of baby food a day, fruit, cheerios, and whatever we are eating off the table. She also gets some juice in a sippy cup. As long as her poo is lookin' good, then just go by that. If they aren't getting enough fluid, then that will be the first indicator. :)
Seems normal to me, my little guy is 9 months also and thats about what he eats in a day. He is my 4th child.
That's a normal amount for a 9 month old. My daughter was big for her age at 9 months and was in the 70s percentile for weight and height and the doctor said that with food, she only needed about 18 ounces of formula a day.
