How many ounces of formula should my 8 mth old be drinking a day?

Question

My 8 mth old only wants to drink about 2 bottles (8 ozs each) a day. She eats baby food ok, but doesn't want to drink formula. (nutrimigen).

Answer 1

for most babys this is fine because they are getting baby food and some table food so they cut back. But if she is not getting any table food yet then i would ask her Dr just to make sure good luck

Answer 2

Two bottles a day isn't too bad but as long as she is getting water and eating enough iron-enriched foods she should be fine.See my so is the opposite he is 8 mos and eats like 5 bottles a day still plus food so i am having trouble trying to wean him down two like 3 bottles.Your daughter is doing great.

Answer 3

start putting the formula in a cup. this will decrease the dependence on the bottle and encourage the baby to get more calories from real food. offer plenty of water in the cup at all times, too.

Answer 4

I think she is good.. if she is gaining weight then you are doing ok. The more she eats, the less she will want to drink.

Answer 5

Thats the kind of question you need to ask a doctor, no telling what kind of advice you'll get here.

Answer 6

This doesn't sound right to me. I would talk to your pediatrician as soon as possible.
