The ballpark figures are helping a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ounces-does-your-lo-take-at-bedtime#post-56411 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 22:38:01 +0000 reggie 56411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on her total daily intake. Eli is formula fed, he eats 4x a day and 8oz each bottle (sometimes 9oz for his nighttime bottle). He is 5 months old and about 18 lb </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ounces-does-your-lo-take-at-bedtime#post-56383 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 21:42:51 +0000 owlmom 56383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO usually takes 4 ounces.

Yay for taking a bottle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ounces-does-your-lo-take-at-bedtime#post-56319 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 18:34:55 +0000 Rubies 56319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, ever since LO was 2 months old she stopped taking the bottle completely so I've been forced to EBF from the primary source (ie. boobs). Just as an experiement, I tried out the bottle tonight and to my surprise after a bit of coaxing, she gulped down an entire 2 ounces (I only put 2oz in the bottle in case it all went to waste). I then continued to feed her for 5 more minutes on the boob.</p> <p>I just want to know how many ounces is a good bedtime portion? I might start using the bottle at night to give myself a break.</p> <p>BTW, my LO is almost 5.5 months old. </p>
