I have 18 month old daughters.
Their eating and milk drinking is totally opposite and it's confusing me :confused:
One daughter, will drink three 8 oz bottles easily. It's done so quickly.
The other daughter, will drink maybe three 6 oz bottles. She needs breaks in between to burp and then needs to be reminded of her bottle.
How much milk to 18 month babies usually drink?
Also, my daughter that drinks less milk, also has decreased the amount she eats. She'll eat a few bites of say pasta and then doesn't want any more. She can't possibly be full already, can she? I worry, and I start giving her other things, like cheese, crackers, bananas, bread - she'll eat a little bit of these and then refuse any more food. Her diapers are still wet and soiled so I know that she is getting something.
Is this common? I know that the amount a baby at this age will eat, decreases quite a bit, but could she really be full after only a few bites?
