Milk Consumption for 8 Months

One of my twins went through that as well. He started dropping feedings and was eating about the same as your little girl for a while, but then miraculously, he's 10 and a half months now and suddenly not only has his solid consumption gone up, but his formula consumption has also increased and he drinks about 16-24 oz again every day. I suspect that it had to do with his teeth as he got five teeth within a month. His brother did, too, (the month before) but he gave up solids rather than his formula for a while. Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it. I tried to give them more yogurt during this stage and cheese, too, which my doctor suggested when my first son did the same thing, but they won't suffer any ill effects from it. Lots of babies do this.

As long as they are gaining weight and having a few good wet diapers a day, I wouldn't worry about it. I use formula in the morning for my 6mo in his cereal. I also try and give him 4-6 oz in between feedings, usually before nap times. And then 7-8oz at bedtime.

Breastmilk/formula should be the primary source of nutrition for the first year. Food/solids is for practice and should add only be a small amount of the total. 10-12 ounces just doesn't sound like enough to meet her nutritional needs. I would ask her doctor what the average formula intake should be for her age. I never formula fed so I can't help with amounts but her doc would be the best one to tell you what her needs are.

My son dropped his formula/breastmilk intake when we introduced juice. He was getting 50% water/50% juice at daycare for breakfast and lunch and consequently, not getting enough milk. So I cut out the juice and his intake went up 8-10 ounces per day. I think he should be drinking around 20 ounces per day. I'd ask a ped just to make sure.

At that age they will self manage their own nutritional needs. If she needs more solids, by all means, give them to her. She is hungry! Baby are intuitively wise about their diet needs.

they need the formula.. cut back on solids till they get at least 16 or 24 oz. of formula per day.. (ask your dr how much.. I think they need 24 oz before 1 year and 16 oz after 1 year..)
you cant let them fill up on solid foods .. they need the milk for all the nutritents.. it is hard to get enough vitamins nutrients in solid foods..
