my son stopped wanting to drink any formula around 7 months by 9 months he wouldnt drink any. As long as hes drinking some formula it will be okay and the times he wont give him juice.

The little boy I used to nanny for was like this.
I would put his milk in a sippy cup or in the bottle and he would hold it, that was the only way to get him to drink anything. Besides his mom's breast!
Sometimes he would not do it, so through out the day I would just give him little sips of water, milk and juice. He would take a few sips about every 30 minutes or so. We tried to get him hungry so he would take a whole bottle, but it really was just not working. This was the only way he would intake any kind of fluids.
Good luck!

Milk being formula or breast milk, right? If this is the case, he doesn't really need to hydrate from it, more for nourishment. You can make him the baby oatmeal with the milk or mix a little in his other foods depending on the moisture level.
For hydration water is good. I use to mix some of the fruited baby food with the water and (not chunky) like the sweet potatoes and banana. My kids loved it.
Your baby is just going through a phase. They tasted food now and love it. The milk probably (especially formula) tastes bland compared. So doll it up!

Put milk in his baby food. Mix it up a bit so he won't easily notice. It wont be much but at least your getting some milk into him. If he refuses then call a doctor.

cookies!
give him some soft cookies and dip them in milk. after he does tell him to drink some milk.
or
you can tell him there is something special about it. like if he drinks it, he'll get bigger, or something he wants. maybe tell him if he drinks it he'll get a special toy under his pillow.
surprise him! =]

maybe try water with a bit of juice for taste...if you are real worried about it...also when he gets hungry give him the bottle before food so he drinks some of it!
