My 15 month old son doesn't seem to want his night time feed.

How much formula should he be having at this age?

He tends to take about 160ml from the 180ml I prepare in the morning.  Is this enough?

Thanks

my son is 18 months now and still takes bottle feed upto 3 to 4 times a day, each time about 6 ounces.
besides this he takes 3 meals of the day plus evening snack.
may be your little one is having a good dinner serving and therefore doesnt feel too hungry.
I m not sure if my reply helped u or not !?

I have a 15 month old too - do you the baby formulas or the next step up kiddie formulas?
I have still been using regular 6-18month formula but have just today decided to start giving cows milk.
Not sure what the toddler formulas are about as the go up to 5 years?
Can anyone advise?

My understanding is that you can go onto cows milk after 1 year and only really need to carry on with formula if you toddler is a fussy eater and therefore you are concerned about whether they are getting all the right nutrients in their solid food - which they would therefore get from formula.

I am amazed at the number of kids that still drink so much milk - a 15 month old only needs 400ml per day, so my 15 month old has two milk feeds - one in when she gets up and one just before bed - much less hassle than giving her milk several times a day.

OP I would not worry if you toddler does not want to drink milk in the day, but perhaps bring dinner time forward so that he/she is more hungry for milk before bed.

They might not 'need' but they might 'like' milk. As long as kids are getting enough solids, and are not overweight, who cares how much milk they drink? I personally have always loved milk, even though I might not 'need' it!
