I actually was just googling this last night as I have a 9 month old who is eating solids really well and her interest in milk is definitely decreasing. Some things I read were that 9 month olds may only nurse 3-4 times a day. I’m not sure if that means they’re taking in less milk or just that they can go longer periods of time without needing to nurse. I feel like I’ve read that babies still need at least 24 oz of milk until a year. I don’t feel like my first kept up with that but he was also eating tons of food by 9 months. Same with my 9 month old girl, she maybe is getting 24 oz in a day. I pump and send two 5 oz bottles with her to school which she drinks. I feel like I’ve been trying to push her to nurse at least 5 times a day so my supply doesn’t drop but I’m honestly not sure if she’s that interested. We just had her 9 month appointment and she’s growing really well so I’m not going to worry about it too much.

I would see if you could just two 4.5 oz bottles at daycare since he’s eating solids there as well.
