How many ounces in a day?

My boy is 13 weeks old and takes approx 24/26 ounces in a day, he is thriving and a good weight of 13lbs.

According to the guidelines for his age he should be taking between 30-35 ounces a day or 2.5 ounce for every lb he weighs which would be 32 ounces a day.

I'm not worried as he is doing great but just a bit curious to know are most babies of the same age drinking more?

Thanks :)

Re: How many ounces in a day?

  • DS: 15 weeks / 13lb (preemie) = 32 oz
    DD: 15 weeks / 10lb (preemie) = 28 oz
  • My little guy drinks 5oz 5-7 times a day. So anywhere from 25-35. 80% of the time he eats 6 times = 30oz. He weighs 16-ish lbs & he's 13.5 weeks old.

    This is pretty much my son exactly too
