I think around 9 months LO definitely started decreasing the amount of milk he drank in favor of solids. I think as long as she's within the range of 19-30oz (huge range obviuosly, but that's what kelly mom states is normal for BM fed babies) then I think she's fine. That being said, I know she's had feeding issues, so maybe mention to your pedi if she continues to refuse BM?

My LO will be 9 months on Tuesday, and he drinks 24-30 oz of formula and has 2-3 meals of solids a day.

I think that is fine. How much does your pedi want LO to get a day?

my guy is 9 months and the MD said we might notice him start to drop a bottle feed now so 8.5 months doesn't sound that far off.

Our LO has been dropping her formula intake as well as she eats more solids, especially at daycare. She used to drink an avg of 30oz, and now it's a range of 22-24 usually. We decided to up her morning and night bottles to 7 oz so that even if she barely eats at daycare, we can get over 20oz in her.

@Anagram: One thing that worked for us, was actually splitting some bottles up. It's almost like LO is too busy and distracted (and interested in solids) to eat lately. So he won't sit through a 4 oz bottle, but he'll take 2 oz at a time. Almost more like 'snacking?'

Mine had some weeks where he took less but was always small so sometimes lower end of average on the scale but loved solids. I can remember some days where he only had 20 oz of formula and other days when he had 30. He didn't consistently taper off until we bottle weaned him. He was drinking a lot around age 1 - probably 28 oz and 3 meals plus snacks. Your child knows what she needs and you can't force her to drink more so I would try not to worry but would keep track of what she eats. We all have weeks where we don't eat as much.
