A member asked:
How much milk will my baby need after he has started eating solids?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Variable: This is variable but a common question. Generally infants don't need more than 32 oz of milk per day and this will decrease depending on how much food the infant eats. At a year many infants are taking about 15-20 oz per day in my experience. Some infants will eat more food than others but all will naturally adjust milk intake dependent on food intake.

Varies with age: On average, babies start solids at 6 months. By 9 months, most babies are eating solids 3 times per day and taking milk 3-4 times. (6-8 ounces, usually) by 12 months, most babies take solids 4-5 times per day and milk 2-3 times (16-24 ounces on average).
