Milk intake
What’s the average amount of milk your little ones have in a 24 hour period?
I’m worrying my little boy has too much, he finished all his 7oz bottles yesterday. He has 2 meals a day but don’t think he’s ready for 3 just yet. Do I do 8oz bottles in hope he drops a bottle in the day as he should go longer between feeds? At the moment he feeds every 3 hours in the day and wakes for 1 bottle in the night 🤷🏻♀️

We offer 5 7oz feeds in 24 hours plus 2 meals (he barely eats the food at home though 😅) but on the days he’s at the childminders he has less milk but heaps of food and will wake more at night for bottles 🤣 So it’s a bit all over. On average he’s having 29-32oz per 24 hours I’d say!
My boy is on about 650/700ml in 24 hours - 2 meals and a snack and sleeps through the night
On average they need between 24-32oz (720-960ml) per day at this age. My girl is the lower end and averages around 700ml per day but she has always been this way. Our dietitian told us that if she drops below 700ml then we need to start looking at supplements so I’m currently monitoring it
