Babies really gone off milk

Baby is 10.5months and really going off milk. He has three meals a day and did have three bottles until recently. He started to drop ounces from his 10 o’clock bottle so I brought go lunch forward. We do lunch at half 11 and then a bottle at half 2 and he has 4/5 ounces and then dinner at half 4 and a night time bottle at 7 which he has 4/5 ounces again. Today he only had 7 ounces all together. Am I feeding him food to much? I’m worried he’s not having enough milk.

My boy is 11 months old; 7/7.30am 5oz milk 9/9.30am breakfast 12pm lunch 4.30/4.45pm dinner 9/9.30pm 5oz milk for bed. I cannot get him to drink more than 10oz in a day. Health visitor said it was perfect for his age🤷🏼‍♀️ He’s been like this for nearly 2 months. I wouldn’t worry lovely. Just make sure you are giving him plenty of cheese & yoghurt!!

I spoke to my hv on the phone about this. I ebf and my girl isnt bothered anymore. Hv said its fine, since they gotta drop them at 1 year old anyway and as long as baby got 3 meals + snacks a day xx

@Marissa I'm surprised your health visitor said the baby has to drop the breastfeeds at 1, unless you are intending to, the health visitors should be encouraging feeding beyond 1 if mum wants to and offer support for doing so.

@Sarnjeet oh no i meant the bottles since op was talking about that. My supply is massively dropping and my lg got some sharp teeth so think i will be stopping soon aswell x

@Marissa ah fair enough!

My baby has done the same since she was 10 months old HV told me as long as she has between 400-500ml a day but if under 500ml she should have vitamins. I wouldn’t worry to much x

My boy is on 2 bottles of 7ozs a day, he’s 1 soon. Has one in the morning and one at bed time. He would also go off his milk when he was teething too! Xx
