For me it has been really fun to see him explore new foods and tastes! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2110983 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 22:52:45 +0000 jhd 2110983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyTsMom: it was a sudden drop really but he also had some other stuff going on. He had surgery to repair his cleft palate which really changed everything about his eating routines. He is still excited about solids and feeding himself but is drinking better now too. If I had to guess we are getting about 16oz of liquid per day at this point. I'm not sure what's "normal", but I think when I wrote that post I was worried about dehydration because he was taking only 6 or 8 oz per day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2110973 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 22:38:17 +0000 BabyTsMom 2110973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: btw, do you recall how much formula your LO was drinking prior to ramping up his solids? i.e., was it a drastic, sudden drop, or was it more of a gradual drop?<br /> Now, 4 weeks after this post, my LO is definitely eating more solids and is gradually reducing his intake of fomula. Just curious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2068026 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 07:39:27 +0000 jhd 2068026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: good to know! Seems like 16oz is a good number to shoot for if he's eating plenty of solids. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2068020 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 07:34:39 +0000 jhd 2068020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyTsMom: he is 9.5 months. Something just clicked with the solids and he's really excited about it. Yesterday's breakfast was the first time he ate that much. it was crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2067994 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 07:18:43 +0000 illumina 2067994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 9 months she was drinking 20-24oz per day, but she was only having 2 meals per day still as it took her quite a long time to get into solids. Since about a year old she has been drinking around 16oz per day, slightly more sometimes and less other days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2067828 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 00:30:52 +0000 BabyTsMom 2067828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: my LO is almost 9 months and has 29-32oz a day. He doesn't eat nearly as much solids as yours does, though! Some of these responses actually have motivated me to offer him more solids. I'll start with breakfast tomorrow!<br /> BTW how old is your LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2067678 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 22:18:19 +0000 Mae 2067678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: ah yea i'd be more concerned about dehydration. Although peaches are pretty juicy :) I'm sure it isn't a big deal, in the short term anyways. Hopefully your doc has some good ideas for getting him to drink more formula or water! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2067674 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 22:15:34 +0000 jhd 2067674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: No, he hasn't had any water. I did offer a little juice mixed with puree because I'm worried about constipation. I left a message for the doc this afternoon. Sometimes he acts like he doesn't like the taste of formula anymore. Other times he's just too busy with his food. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2067666 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 22:10:22 +0000 Mae 2067666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: is he drinking water? I mean maybe you could ask your ped to be sure it is fine if it continues... but it seems like if he's eating that much I can't imagine it isn't okay :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2067662 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 22:08:54 +0000 jhd 2067662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: he's had maybe 6oz of formula today. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little better. But yes I am sure he will be ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2067657 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 22:05:59 +0000 Mae 2067657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: so i'm a notorious food worrier but if my LO was eating that much I wouldn't worry about milk :) My ped told us that by 9 mo she could be drinking as little as 16oz of milk if she was doing well on solids. As long as he is consuming calories and isn't having tummy trouble I feel like it's fine. When in doubt I remember that my brother survived infant hood on bottles full of 2% cow's milk. YES REALLY. I've come to realize kids are more resilient than they seem lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2067634 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 21:56:28 +0000 jhd 2067634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: @luckypenny: @twodoghouse: thanks so much for your input, ladies! he has really taken off with solids, especially in the last week, but he's also not wanting to drink so it's stressing me! Babies definitely keep you on your toes!! ;)</p> <p>@luckypenny: sounds like T's breakfast this am: yogurt, waffle, and a cup of diced peaches. I couldn't believe it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2067603 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 21:43:26 +0000 twodoghouse 2067603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wondering this too. My twins are just over 9 months and are BF and FF. They seem to get most of their calories from formula, though. They are not eating much solids. Anyway, they range from 28-32 oz. most days. They eat ten million times per day. Ok, like 7-9 bottles and 2-4 times at night. I think they are formula fed babies on a breastfeeding on demand schedule? I think their growth is ok, but I know Alice has slowed way down since 6 months. I think she's a couple pounds lighter than Blake now. I'll be curious to see what our ped says at their appt next week.</p> <p>Eta: at our 6 month appt our ped said we should start increasing the amount of solids and formula intake should be at least 18-24 oz, though more was ok. We haven't been able to get going with solids too well due to digestive issues and sleep problems with solids, but that will be my target as we continue to increase solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2067602 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 21:43:13 +0000 luckypenny 2067602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18oz or so. She has. 6 oz bottle before morning nap, 6oz before afternoon nap and 6oz before bedtime. She is 10 months old. </p> <p>She has a huge breakfast as soon as she wakes up - pancake, yogurt, 1 egg (scrambled or hard boiled) and fruit. Lunch and dinner go the same way. Girl can eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2067590 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 21:37:37 +0000 Mae 2067590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 9mo tomorrow. Most days she drinks 34 ounces. She gets a 9oz bottle at wakeup, two 8oz bottles during the day, and a 9oz bottle before bed. She almost always finishes all of them. She isn't eating a lot of solids yet though. Most often maybe 2-4(max) ounces of puree, maybe 1/4 a scrambled egg, less than 1/4 a piece of diced fruit, and like a handful of puffs and/or melts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-does-your-ff-9-12-month-old-drink#post-2067582 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 21:33:50 +0000 jhd 2067582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About how many oz does your FF 9-12 month old drink? I know this can vary widely just wondering what might be "normal", especially if LO eats plenty of solids. </p>
