That seems like a lot of formula for an 11 month old to me but I know opinions vary on that issue. My pediatrician recommends cutting down a little on formula by that age and then switching to no more than 12 oz whole milk at a year. My DS turned a year old last Sunday and he was on 16 to 18 oz formula per day for the last month or so (and solids 5x per day). Dairy is still important but the formula/milk can be supplemented with cheese and yogurt if he'll tolerate it. I thought my DS didn't like sippy cups at first either. And maybe that was part of it. So I tried a number of different kinds. It turns out though that he really just wasn't that into juice. He loves drinking just water out of a sippy. I find that so odd but there it is. I guess I'll just enjoy it while I can.
