How much formula should my baby drink?
Most babies will drink between 24-32 ounces of formula each day.
As baby begins to eat solid food, usually around 6 months, consumption of formula will be displaced by food. In other words, your baby should naturally decrease drinking formula as solid food intake increases.
By one year of age, your baby should be drinking about 16-20 ounces of liquid, either formula or breast milk, and the transition to cow’s milk will begin. Drinking more than 24 ounces of milk or formula at 24 months of age is considered excessive.
My little one is about to turn one and is transitioning to whole milk now. I was wondering how much milk she needed to be drinking each day, so thank you for answering my question. 🙂
Okay i have a question about this… my little one will be 8 months in 5 days… he is still drinking about 28oz of formula a day plus his solids…. when i read things like this it worries me because almost everything I read says he’s formula intake should start going down, but it hasn’t he drinks about 5-7 oz 5 times day.
oops i just read what was highlighted… “Most babies will drink between 24-32 ounces of formula each day.” guess we are still good 🙂 sorry
