Examples, never a bottle quota
ChoiceGuidance for this stage
Breast milkRespond to cues. No scheduled volume or feeding ceiling.
FormulaInfant formula can generally transition at 12 months; discuss individual needs. AAP / CDC reference.
Mixed feedsRespond to hunger and fullness. Sample times are not additive breast/bottle quotas.

For formula, AAP says usually no more than an average of 32 oz per 24 hours; discuss individual concerns. Never turn the high per-feed example into a daily quota.

Around this little stage.

11 month old

2 automatic naps; 13h 30m sample sleep opportunity. The planning target changes by 15m.

13 month old

2 automatic naps; 13h 15m sample sleep opportunity. The source anchor stays similar here; the nap pattern and cues still matter.

A few little questions.

How long are 12 month old wake windows?

This example uses 3h–4h for the selected nap pattern, based on attributed consultant examples. Watch cues; it is not a strict timer.

How many naps fit this age?

The automatic day has 2 naps. Available model choices are 2–2. Short naps and readiness can change a real day.

What time is bedtime in this example?

With a 07:00 wake time, this computed day reaches bedtime at 8:15 pm. Change the wake time to shift the example.

Does the feeding schedule set a limit?

No. Markers are opportunities. Follow hunger/fullness cues and the clinician’s instructions, including overnight.

Is this a recommended sleep total?

The cited sleep reference and our sample opportunity target are separate. Rest includes breaks, and AASM gives no recommendation under four months.
