WHAT ABOUT MILK?

At 6 months of age your baby should be drinking between 800ml and 1 000ml of milk in 24 hours. As meals start replacing milk feeds, this decreases to between 600ml and 700ml a day at 7 to 9 months. At a year, your baby should only be drinking 500ml of milk a day. That being said, don’t decrease your baby’s milk feeds as soon as you start solids – this will happen naturally and gradually as your baby gets used to eating.
