Right on target: Your baby is right on target. A 10 month old baby who is eating 3 "meals" per day should only be drinking between 18-24 oz of formula. This decreases to 16-20 oz of formula at 11 months while eating 3 "meals" and 2 "snacks and down to 14-16 oz of milk at 1 months while eating 3 meals and 2 snacks. Remember to transition from formula to milk slowly over 1 week
