Quick answer: An 11-month-old feeding chart: babies usually have 3-4 milk feeds of about 6-8 oz (180-240 ml), or breastfeed on demand, alongside 3 meals and about 2 snacks. Most family foods are fine if cut safely and low in salt. Start planning the switch from formula to whole cow's milk at 12 months.
TL;DR
- Formula: 6-8 oz (180-240 ml) per feed, 3-4 feeds a day.
- Breast milk: on demand.
- Follow hunger cues, diapers and weight gain over any chart.
This 11-month-old feeding chart sums up what pediatric guidance says about how much and how often babies eat at this age, for both formula and breast milk. Treat the numbers as typical ranges, not targets: your baby's hunger cues, weight gain and diapers matter more than any chart.
How much should a 11-month-old eat?
| Formula | Breast milk | |
|---|---|---|
| Per feed | 6-8 oz (180-240 ml) | Baby sets the amount; feeds are shorter and more efficient as babies grow |
| Feeds per 24 hours | 3-4 | on demand |
| Typical gap | around meals | On demand; varies feed to feed |
| Daily total | falling gradually | Not measured; judge by diapers and weight gain |
| Solids | 3 meals plus 2 snacks; most family foods, cut safely. | 3 meals plus 2 snacks; most family foods, cut safely. |
The AAP's rule of thumb for formula is about 2.5 oz per pound of body weight per day, up to about 32 oz (960 ml). Use the baby feeding calculator to see an estimate for your baby's weight, or the ounces to ml converter to switch units.
Sample 11-month-old feeding schedule
An example day only. Shift the times to fit your baby, and feed earlier if they show hunger cues.
| Time | Feed |
|---|---|
| 7:00 am | Milk feed |
| 8:00 am | Breakfast |
| 10:00 am | Snack |
| 12:00 pm | Lunch |
| 2:30 pm | Milk feed |
| 3:30 pm | Snack |
| 5:30 pm | Dinner |
| 7:00 pm | Milk feed, bedtime |
What changes at this age
Your baby is close to toddler eating. Plan for the 12-month transition: the CDC says that from 12 months you can switch from formula to plain whole cow's milk (or fortified unsweetened dairy alternatives), gradually. If you're breastfeeding, you can keep going for as long as you both want; the AAP supports breastfeeding to 2 years and beyond.
Signs your baby is getting enough
- Steady weight gain along their own curve on the growth chart
- Plenty of wet diapers, usually 4-6 or more a day
- Content and relaxed after most feeds
- Alert and active when awake
If you're breastfeeding, you can't see ounces, which is why many parents log feed times and diapers instead.
How to log feeds in Tot
In Tot you can log breastfeeding with time and duration, bottles in oz or ml, and solids. The home screen shows the last feed, and feeding trends by day and week help you spot patterns to bring to your pediatrician. Share the log with a partner or caretaker so nobody has to guess when baby last ate.
When to call your pediatrician
- Fewer wet diapers than usual, a dry mouth or no tears
- Refusing several feeds in a row, or feeding much less than normal
- Forceful or green vomiting, or blood in stool
- A fever with poor feeding, drowsiness or breathing trouble
- Any time your instinct says something is wrong
