I am getting lots of different opinions. My LO is 7 months old, he has 9oz at 8pm, a meal at midday, fruit and yoghurt at 4pm and another 9oz at 8.30. Very occasionally he'll want some toast/rusk as a snack. Water is offered several times a day. I read he should be on at least 16oz a day when fully weaned.
He is putting on weight, is healthy and happy. Some people say he should be on more milk but he does have yoghurt and cheese.
What do you think?
Hi smiler1985, -
your name makes me want to smile!
I personally think its a case of, - you know your child best as since birth you've been caring for him & giving him everything that he might need every day since the day he was born.
I'm sure you'll agree that babies tend to change as quickly as they grow & this also effects their milk intake as they become more satisfied with the foods you mentioned.
As you said he's happy, healthy & putting on weight so how ever much ounzes of milk he's taking he is fine with it.

Thank you for both comments. Smiler is what people call me. I think my lo is getting enough. I just started doubting myself when someone questioned it
Oh i see, My daughter is a bit of a smiler & she's just turned 5 months old (lets hope she can keep it up
)
I just think some people like to be rather nosey at times especially when it comes to babies (very annoying).

I agree. My lo was 9+1 born, so not a delicate bean. I have a smiler too, it's the best isn't it. I hope she stays the same for you. X
