Feeding schedule for a 11-month-old baby
✓ Last verified against the official sources on 1 September 2026.
Three meals, with milk alongside
Your baby now eats solid food three times a day, with healthy snacks in between. Milk has become the supplement rather than the main event.
Wind formula down towards the first birthday — from 1 year, whole cows' milk can replace it. Follow-on and toddler milks are not needed (NHS).
What changes this month
Work towards fixed eating and drinking moments: three meals and at most two snacks. Start reducing formula as solid food takes over more of the day — a stepping stone towards milk from a cup around the first birthday.
An example day
This is what a day could look like. It is an example, not a prescription: your baby tells you when they are hungry, and that shifts from day to day.
Work towards fixed eating and drinking moments: three meals and at most two snacks. Grazing all day blunts the appetite. You decide what and when, your child decides how much.
| Around | What |
|---|---|
| 7.30am | Milk feed (200 ml) — increasingly from a cup |
| 8am | Breakfast with the family |
| 10am | Snack: fruit |
| 12.30pm | Lunch: sandwich with vegetables alongside |
| 3pm | Snack: yoghurt or a cracker |
| 5.30pm | Dinner: whatever the family is having |
| 7pm | Milk feed (200 ml) and bed |
Move from bottle to an open or free-flow cup between 9 and 12 months — prolonged bottle use affects the teeth.
What about breastfeeding?
With breastfeeding you don’t count millilitres — feeding responsively is the guidance, and your baby regulates the amount. The volumes above are for formula; the number of feeds a day is still a useful reference point either way.
Working it out for your baby
The rule of thumb is 150 ml per kilo of body weight a day, spread across the feeds — capped at 200 ml per bottle. Work it out with your baby’s weight →
