My LO is 7 months, I'm pumping for his bottle during the day. I stopped BF during the day because he was getting very distracted while feeding and breastfeeding became a nightmare! I also use Formula to mix cereal and certain food. I know he should probably be drinking more milk. He's getting 14oz but he's not into drinking from bottle anymore..
It takes up to 30 minutes to finish his bottle and very often he only drinks 2 or 3 oz so I end up using the milk in his cereal. Surprisingly he’s never that hungry (thirsty) for his milk.
Here's his schedule:
7:00 Wake
7:30 Bottle 4oz
8:00 Breakfast (3tbsp cereal, 2 tbsp fruits) mix w/left over milk
9:30 - 11:00 Nap
11:00 Bottle 4 oz
12:00 Lunch (2tbsp cereal, 1 egg yolk or chicken, 2 tbsp veggies)
1:30-3:00 Nap
3:00 Bottle 4oz (1/2 jar fruits)
5:00 Dinner 2oz milk in cup, 2tbsp cereal, 2 tbsp chicken, 2 tbsp veggies
6:00 Bedtime
9:00/10:00 NW - some nights he wakes up around that time and I breastfeed him but usually he sleeps through the night.
Baby sleeps well, is happy, weighs 20lbs and overall is healthy.
Is this ok?? I'm worry he’s not getting enough milk. Based on what I found he should be drinking 26-32 oz of milk. This is for Formula.
I can’t seem to find any guideline for breast milk intake or is it the same? Please let me know your thought.
Thanks !
