I would guess that's normal? H was 14lb6oz at 14 weeks.... I don't know about formula amounts but that's an average amount of breastmilk for a day for this age.

Yup! As long as he's not spitting up a ton, he should be fine. I think 36oz is the "recommended" max for formula.

By 3 months old, both of my boys were drinking 9oz bottles 4x a day....they were both big babies. Now at 3, DS1 is super skinny, so the rolls are just temporary

@wrkbrk: Do you know where he is on the growth curve? Is he gaining on track? I guess your pediatrician would know. I know ours suggested we stay on the high calorie formula because they weren't gaining enough weight. We've had to increase feedings and waking them up from naps.

15 weeks DS was at 5 feedings a day, 6oz each. He was probably at 28-30oz total a day, but it was 4 bottles of breastmilk and one bottle of formula if that matters. And my son was a long skinny kid with weight gain issues. So 36oz on formula doesn't seem absurd to me.

I think you're fine. DD is 4 months old and is on the tiny end of the weight spectrum. She takes 4-4.5 ounce bottles every 3 hours. She cues us when she's full by basically spitting out the nipple or stopping eating. If your little one is chugging the bottles fine I think he's getting what he needs.

This chart is recommended a lot around here. It's on the upper end of the range but I wouldn't worry. It's just a guideline. Honestly as long as he isn't spitting up lots then I think it's OK. I would be hesitant to limit his feeds.
