### **Milk Intake Guidelines:**
- **Total Daily Amount:** Typically, a 9-month-old can consume about 600 to 900 ml (20 to 30 ounces) of milk per day. This can be from breast milk or formula.
- **Frequency:** The milk can be divided into 3 to 4 feedings throughout the day.
### **Sample Feeding Schedule:**
1. **Morning:** 150-200 ml (5-7 ounces)
2. **Midday:** 150-200 ml (5-7 ounces)
3. **Afternoon:** 150-200 ml (5-7 ounces)
4. **Evening:** 150-200 ml (5-7 ounces)
### **Transition to Solids:**
By 9 months, solid foods should be introduced and gradually increased. The milk intake might reduce slightly as solid food intake increases.
### **Monitoring and Adjustments:**
- **Hunger Cues:** Pay attention to your baby’s hunger and fullness cues. Adjust the amount of milk based on their appetite and dietary needs.
- **Balanced Diet:** Ensure that the baby’s diet includes a variety of solid foods to provide necessary nutrients.
If you have concerns about your baby's milk intake or overall nutrition, consult your pediatrician for personalized advice.
