How much fluid dailyt for 8 month old.

My daughter is 8 1/2 months old and is breastfed once in the morning and once before bed. She has a sippy cup that has either whole milk, watered down apple juice or just plain water in it at all times. How much fluid should she really get during a day?? How many ounces?

i thought you weren't supposed to give whole milk until after 1 year??!!

Quoting *Peyton's mami*:“ i thought you weren't supposed to give whole milk until after 1 year??!!”

  You're not.

Quoting Kristy07:“   You're not.”

OP she needs more formula or breastmilk instead of the whole milk. and i personally would do more water than juice, bc the juice is bad for her teeth.

My pedi told me that my 12 month old should get 16 oz a day
At 8 1/2 months, my son had double: 30 oz, but I think 24 would be better..... I think I gave him too much... you can't tell though if you are BFing unless you are pumping?

Some people do give whole milk before a year. Doctors say not too but it's personal preference.

They're supposed to have formula/breast milk either every 4-5 or 5-6 hours. I just read that like 20 minutes ago but can't remember which one it was.
