Hi Mala,

My name is Priya. I have 7 1/2 months old daughter. She is very fussy in drinking milk at times and I get really concerned. She eats two times solid food(cereal+Veg+milk). Can you pls. tell me what is the prefered quantity of daily milk intake with these type of solid foods.

Thanks.
Mala replied. milk intake should be 24- 32 ounces daily.daily 2 times solid is good.you can also give fruits,gerber bottled fruits as snacks between meals.my son is 13 months now.but when he was 8 months his schedule is as follows.
early morning - milk.
at 8 in the morning- milk
at 11 - cereal and veg and some water.
at 12:30 - fruit.
at 3- milk.
6:30 - cereal+veg
at 9 milk.
my suggestion is if your baby is not drinking 8 ounces of milk per feeding,incerease the no. of times,in that way she gets enough milk.babies t fuss a lot to drink milk but you need to really patient.
are you burping your baby.you should birp her after every 100 ml she drinks.give 2 min break after burping and again try to feed.hope this helps you.All the best.stay in touch.by the way i live in Canada.how abt you?
take care.
