my child drink the milk just while sleeping !!!

my child drink the milk just while sleeping !!!

hello, how are you :)

I have a problem with my child, which makes me so depressed :(
He is a baby boy.His age is 7 months and half,and his weight is 10 kgs.I give him Industrial Milk.
The problem is that he doesn't like to drink the milk , when he is awake, at all. Jusat when I put the nipple of the bottle in his mouth and he tastes the milk, he removes it immediately! BUT while sleeping, he drinks the milk, just 100 ml. this problem has been starting just 1 month ago, and before that, he was drinking easly and more quantity than now! He doesn't have any problem with eating.I don't think that he feels painful while drinking because he does not cry at all, just don't put the nipple in my mouth!
By the way, he also doesn't like to drink juices.So, i usually mash the fruits and feed him.

I hope that I get a sufficial unswer because i am getting so tired from this habit of my baby.
Thank you so much .

A child needs to continue on infant formula until the age of 1 year. Milk does not give an infant the proper nutrients to grow and plus before the age of one year, milk will increases allergy to it. From your measurements, his weight is on the 90th percentile for his age which is very good. If he does not want a nipple, then try a sippy cup at meals. Here is a guideline for a 7.5-12 month old child that should eat daily the following: Formula (6-8oz) 3-5 feedings a day, Dairy 1 serving a day – cheese (1/2 oz) or yogurt (1/2 cup). Starch 2 feedings a day – Infant Cereal (2-4 Tbsp), bread (1/2 slice), crackers (2), or pasta (3-4 Tbsp), Fruits or Vegetables 1-2 feedings a day – (3-4 Tbsp). Meat 2 feedings a day – 3-4 Tbsp) or beans (1/4 cup). This food should be feed 3 meals a day with snacks between the meals. At his age he can start with finger foods and he can feed himself with his fingers. Hoped this helped you.
