: My boy is a big eater and drank a lot of formula. As of late he has lost interest in drinking from his bottle. He drinks one full bottle in the AM but only 7-8 oz the rest of the day. My MIL has been letting him drink from her glass with soda or something in it and I think she's been giving him milk too, ugh ;{, Is he self weaning off of his bottle or not interested in formula because he's been getting sugary drinks/milk. How do I know if he's getting enough to drink? Sue, I don't want to get stomped on here but starting milk at 7-1/2 months is not too early especially if he has already had it and tolerated it even though many literature says to wait until a year. You could also give him vitamin drops to ensure he is getting enough in addition to the milk. I never gave my daughters soda at that age and still don't but a little won't hurt him. If she gives him too much, then it will.
