LO eats about 7-8 oz of solids split over breakfast and dinner. Then she has anywhere from 24-32 oz of formula. She's 9 months old on Thursday. Sometimes it feels like a lot but when she's under 20 oz for the day I freak out that she hasn't had enough. So how much formula does your LO drink every day? and how old is your LO?

C is 2 weeks past her 1st birthday and drinking none! We JUST kicked the final nighttime bottle a couple days ago.
SO relieved.
She had been drinking 20-24oz a day from about 8m-12m.

My LO is 10.5 months old and he takes about 4 bottles a day and drinks about 24 ozs. He eats a lot of solids though. Banana and oatmeal for breakfast, bento lunch, snack and then dinner.
-
@littlek: That's what I was thinking is that it might stay at around 24 oz or drop a bit once we're more regularly giving her lunch.
Today she's probably had about 18 oz and will probably have 10-12 more before bed.

DD is 13 weeks, and drinks about 25-30 oz a day (half of that is BM though, all of it from a bottle)
-
DS is 9 months on Saturday and eats 24oz formula. He eats about the same amounts of solids as your little one (8ish oz). Just in the last two weeks he's become interested in table food (prob b/c he finally cut his first tooth!) so over the weekend I noticed he drank more like 20oz/day, totally due to the increased solids.

LO is 11 months and drinks 4 bottles a day, for a total of 32 oz, plus 3 meals.
-
Are you doing any yogurt or cheese? My son drank a lot less, but he also ate yogurt and I would make his oatmeal with whole milk.
-
DS is 7.5 months and drinks 24 oz a day. His tummy could never hold much more than 6 oz without spitting up. I think he would drink more if I let him but he doesn't seem hungry after the bottle. He does eat quite a bit of solids though, 3 meals a day.
-
3 months adjusted and about 19 ounces although its fortified to 24 calories instead of 20 and mixed with 1/4 bm.
-
@Mrs Green Grass: Do you use Enfacare? We use that with LO, it really helped him pack on lbs. I call it his baby steroids.
-
My DD drinks around 24-30oz a day. Seems like a lot to me but her weight is still in the same steady percentile so I think she's fine.
-
he eats a fair bit of solids every day plus around 25oz of formula at 10.5 months. he was drinking more formula a few months ago. Around 7-8 months he was still drinking over 34oz a day!
-
My daughter is 4 months and drinks 28-30 oz. We're not ready to introduce solids yet.
-
@BelugaBean: 24oz plus 8 of solids (purée). But, I cut ally think he needs more formula because he randomly started waking once at night for a 4oz. I'm trying to fit that 4oz into the day so I can return to sttn!!
He's 6m. -
My LO is 10.5 months and she takes four bottles a day for a total of 24-26 ounces and then eats about 8 ounces of solids.
-
My LO will be 8 months next week and he currently takes 5 bottles a day for a total of 28 oz. We just recently started 3 meals of solids/day. My "goal" is to drop his lunchtime bottle and only give him solids for lunch by the time he turns 9 months. By then, we'll be at 4 bottles a day for a total of 24 oz/day.
-
DD is going to turn 7 months on the 18th. She gets a 4oz bottle in the morning, oatmeal and banana for breakfast, 12 ozs a 3-6 cubes (depends if shes hungry for dinner) at her babysitters house and another 4 ozs at bed time.
So in total she gets about 20oz of formula
-
@littlek: we use Enfamil AR. He seems to be gaining okay...if only I could get him to eat more total ounces!
-
Our 3 month old takes 4 8oz bottles a day - for a total of 32 oz. Every. Single. Day. And he is, according to the doc, "slender". He's a big boy (99% for height and 77% for weight)
-
I worry a lot about whether our LOs are eating enough. They are 2 months adjusted age and eat 2-3 oz. at 7 feedings in 24 hours, for an average of about 16-19 oz. a day. They are on Neosure, which is 22 calories/oz, so they get a little more calories than what the oz. implies.
@Mrs Green Grass: I feel the same way about our boys. If I could just get them to eat more they would catch up with their actual age size so much faster!
-
A is 8 months old and she only drinks 4ozs at a time for a total of maybe 16 ozs.
-
@BelugaBean: I wouldn't worry, once they start solids the formula they drink drops. B drinks about 32 ozs, but he's a little piggie... oink oink!!
