Formula feeding

Caronl · June 2012

Hi everyone- I don't think I have posted since my awesome VBAC story, but I was hoping to get your opinion. I am exclusively formula feeding DD due to an inability to breast feed (same issue with DD1). I am wondering how many ounces your LO take at each feeding and how many feedings per day for total ounces. I only remember that DD1 took 7oz bottles by 4 months (but she ate a lot). DD2 is not as interested in eating!

Thanks for your help!

Kate takes 6 bottles a day, sometimes 7 (depending on what time she wakes up). I make her 6oz bottles, but she usually takes 4-5oz at each feeding.

I EBF but I'm a nurse and I really like this booklet we give out, it says that 5-6 4-6oz bottles in 24 hrs is "normal"

Here is a link it talks about all different feeding for the whole first year as well as gives sample meal ideas once solids are started

Thanks girls! Looks like Hailey is right on track- usually 5-6 bottles of 4-6 oz each. Samantha was such a chow hound and Hailey is such a peanut compared to her!
