What's going on with my 10 month old?

Jack is just over 10 months old now and over the last week has not been interested in his nighttime or morning BF. He is also now refusing a bottle. We've been trying to keep up the apparently required 800mls per day of formula by giving it to him in cups but can't really get that much into him - this has only been over the weekend. I think we'd be lucky to get 300-400mls max.

He's eating everything, is having yogurt daily, cheese, a bit of cow's milk in his cereal and generally has a fantastic appetite. I guess I should keep an eye on weight gain from now. As at a week ago at a doctor's appointment, he weighed in at a hefty 11.7kg.

What should I do if I can't get enough formula into him? He's certainly thriving - oh, and drinks TONS of water each day...and some of those cups have been replaced with formula.

I don't know how he'll go with his intake at daycare and they gave no indication of whether or not it had dropped off in the last week. He's been sleeping through, is active, happy and all that good stuff but I guess I just need to know if he decides he's not interested in formula (he's on the S26 Soy formula), should I just give him water and cow's milk along with his regular diet?

I do miss the closeness of BFing but hey, I know it has to end...it just wasn't this way with my first.

Hoping someone has some information for me!!

maybe i have missed something but why soy formula and cows milk???

He had a slight eczema-like reaction to cows milk formula but seems fine with having yogurt and other dairy products.

MrsR, my boys both dropped a bf or two around that age, but I don't think the quantity would have reduced by as much as you are talking about (hard to know though as obviously I couldn't really measure it). I would suggest giving him a little less food to see what happens. I'd probably reduce the dairy first, and just see if that increases the formula intake again. If it doesn't make a difference, then I'd go with the flow. Just make sure that he eats a balanced diet, gets enough calcium and enough fluid. GL.
