My just turned 7 month old has 7 teeth and eats pretty much anything we do...she can have small pieces of chicken, beef, soft veggies and fruit, you name it. My dilema is that she doesn't take bottles well anymore, she will only take about 4 oz between meals and then 6 oz before bed...so she's only getting an average of 18 oz or so a day. Is this OK...I feel like it's really early for her to be dropping off the formula. She drinks from a sippy cup well but still doesn't take much formula from it. I give her the bottle first but she still doesn't take much, she'd rather just wait and eat the food. Is this OK?

How much formula does she HAVE to have?

i have two daughters and can say that formula and breastmilk is sooo important the first year to help them develope. just because she has teeth doesnt mean she can eat what she wants that just means she got teeth a little earlier than some children nothing should have changed as far as her milk. she 100% needs that milk if you look on the label of these formula cans its say for babies 0-12 months so if shes in that range she needs it and who knows it may even cause her to be overweight in the future because of solid food habits so early in life they have to be winged honey..first the formula, then rice cereal, then baby food, then solids talk to your doctor also.

18 oz a day is not near enough. She has to have at least 24 oz in 24 hours. (32 would be even better) This is so important. You will need to give her very little food and let her start picking back up on the formula. It may be hard at first but it will be the best for her.
put it in cereal, mac & cheese, anything to get it in her!

i think of it particularly is great, in case you think of he would be quiet long sufficient. If no longer, then you definately will in all probability ought to come back up with plan B. i've got been to funerals with babies that cried and the make certain had to maintain stepping out. possibly you should circulate to the viewing and pay your appreciate. it particularly is a problematic one by using fact i be attentive to you elect to be there, which you should. you will possibly be able to provide infant some thing to occupy him, if he starts to get fussy or gets loud. Take some cherrios and watch the clock for his next feeding so he won't cry for a bottle.

No, sweetheart. she really needs that formula. 24 oz every day! her brain is not fully developed. It is so important that she gets that! sounds like you need to cut way back on her food and she will drink it when she gets hungry
good luck
