Re: Ounces...
Formula or Breast Milk? Formula
How many ounces does LO drink and how many feedings? 5oz /6x day
Total ounces per day? About 28-30oz per day
Special circumstances? LO has reflux and I'm wondering if I'm feeding him too much
Formula
4 ounces every 3-4 hours
Around 20-24 ounces.
50/50 BM & Formula combo
Eats about 5-7 ounces at each feeding. She eats 5-6 times a day.
Total of about 30oz a day.
She has reflux and I was overfeeding her, because I misread her cues as being hungry but it was gas/ reflux/ fussiness, doing much better with pushing the time between feedings longer. She gets fussy 1-2 hours after eating, and it was easy to feed her more to calm her down, but this was too much and made it worse. Now I wait past that fussiness trying to console her with massage or a bath and then feed her a least 3 hours between feedings.
Formula or Breast Milk? Breast
How many ounces does LO drink and how many feedings? 5 feedings guessing average of 5 oz per feeding based on what I get when I pump to stock up. We've only tried a bottle a few times and it's been hit or miss on her taking it.
Total ounces per day? Guessing around 25, but I have no idea.
Special circumstances? No
Formula or Breast Milk? breast milk
How many ounces does LO drink and how many feedings? usually about 3-4 oz 5-6x a day, sometimes more in one feeding, sometimes less
Total ounces per day? about 24
Special circumstances? nope

Formula or Breast Milk? Breastmilk
How many ounces does LO drink and how many feedings? Um I have no idea how many ounces since till today he got it from the boob almost all the time except one bottle feeding from daddy in the evenings where he gets 4-5 ounces. He eats from me 7-10 times per day. Today is his first day of daycare and I sent 12 ounces with him since I wasn't sure what to send.
Total ounces per day? I'd guess 30-35 ounces. He eats a lot.
Special circumstances? Sometimes he gets really bad gas, but not consistently.
Formula or Breast Milk? Both (try to nurse every 2-3 hours for nutrients, then give a little bit of formula to fill him up)
How many ounces does LO drink and how many feedings? Not sure how much he gets from nursing (I had GD, thinking that affected my milk supply :-( )When I pump I only get 1/2-1 oz, but he can usually get more milk out than I can pumping. I give 3 oz of formula after each feeding.
Total ounces per day? He feeds about 6-7 times a day. 18-21oz of formula (again not sure how much BM)
Special circumstances? Not really. I just try to read him based on how much he spits up. Usually really cranky right after bottle is done then calms down after he burps.
Formula or Breast Milk? - Formula
How many ounces does LO drink and how many feedings? - Anywhere from 2-4oz per feeding. The number of feedings changes drastically depending on whether he's eating 2oz or 4oz.
Total ounces per day? - 16oz-22oz - I would say 19oz is our usual
Special circumstances? - Reflux and he's on Nutramigen Milk Allergy formula to help with his frequent vomiting
How many weeks is LO? 14
Formula or Breast Milk? We EP and she gets 1 bottle of formula before bed.
How many ounces does LO drink and how many feedings? She takes 3-4 oz every 2-3 hours until evening, then slows down. She will only take 1.5-2.5 oz every 3-4 hours from about 9 pm - 6 am. Her 9 pm bottle is higher calorie formula, since she needs them and is difficult to feed at night. Total feeding per day is 8-10.
Total ounces per day? No less than 24 is our goal.
Special circumstances? She is in the .1% on the growth charts and was falling further off from 2 weeks - 2 months. She is a lazy feeder, so we have to push to get her to eat enough.
Formula or Breast Milk? Formula (Nutramigen)
How many ounces does LO drink and how many feedings? During the day, about 4.5oz 4x between 7am & 7pm. He also wakes around 1am, and drinks 3-4.5oz, and another 2 oz if he wakes around 5am.
Total ounces per day? 22-24oz per day
Special circumstances? DS is MSPI, and also has GERD, so he is on hypoallergenic formula and takes Axid 2x per day.
Formula or Breast Milk? breast milk
How many ounces does LO drink and how many feedings? I would guess 3-4oz, sometimes I pump and that's what he takes. 6-8 feedings per day.
Total ounces per day? About 25
Special circumstances? Luckily none
Formula or Breast Milk? Mostly Breast Milk. I exclusively pump during the day, she gets an ounce of formula with her last feeding before bed and I nurse her 1 or 2 times at night.
How many ounces does LO drink and how many feedings? Generally around 3 ounces, but can vary from 2-4. During the day she normally eats every 2.5-3 hours (with the occasional longer stretch if she's asleep and we aren't home so I don't wake her) and at night she normally gets a 5-6 hours stretch and then a 3-4 hour stretch.
Total ounces per day? Around 15-20
Special circumstances? She has reflux, is on Zantac. Also, she has HORRIBLE gas. We are currently on the hunt for a bottle that may help relieve it. Next step is to cut out dairy (well, cheese. I don't eat any other dairy, but I am having a hard time letting go of the deliciousness that is cheese!!)
About 30% breast milk, 70% formula
How many ounces/feedings: 3-4 oz every 3ish hours, but sleeping a stretch of 6ish hours at night.
Total ounces: 24-32, usually about 28 oz.

Dairy is in more stuff than you might think - Kelly mom has a good list of hidden dairy ingredients to read labels for if you do end up on an elimination diet.
How many weeks is LO? 10.5

How many ounces does LO drink and how many feedings?

Reflux, cows milk allergy and I basically don't eat anything yummy anymore cause his tummy just can't handle it. Lol
How many weeks is LO: Almost 9 weeks
Formula or Breast Milk? Breast
How many ounces does LO drink and how many feedings? I never really give bottles so I'm not so sure. This friday I didn't take lo to work like I usually do. He ate 12.5 oz in 6 hours. I thought my hubby over fed him but he still woke up every 2 hours and nursed so I dunno...he's a big baby though around 15 lb's and 24/25 inches.
Total ounces per day? no idea. he eats every 2 or 3 hours
Special circumstances? very gassy. we're trying to eliminate dairy from my diet now
I exclusively pump. He eats 70% bm and 30% formula.
Typically 4-5oz every 3-4 hrs.
Total of 24-28oz per day
We use gentle formula and orthodontic bottles, because he'd drop his tongue during meals.
How many weeks is LO? 10 weeks
Formula or Breast Milk? Breast
How many ounces does LO drink and how many feedings? 4oz most times, occasionally only 2oz. When I'm at work 4 feedings. At home we feed on demand
Total ounces per day? 16 while at work, fresh from the tap when at home
Special circumstances? Nope!
Exclusively pumping- supplementing with formula in occasion
He gets 4 ounces every 3 hours during the day. A total of 20-28 ounces a day.
No special circumstances yet!
Awesome thread, I would be interested to also see baby's weight in the list! My LO is 11lbs, 12 oz.
Formula or Breast Milk? BM, FF once in the evening to supplement
How many ounces does LO drink and how many feedings? I think between 2-4 oz. At my BF support group our feeding weights are between 2-3 oz but I know she eats a ton more in the morning when I'm super full of milk. I also think it's because she STTN.
Total ounces per day? 12-20 oz BM (estimating) and we are up to 4 oz each evening with supplement formula.
Special circumstances? GAS :-/ we use gas drops a few times during the day and in her evening bottle. I think it's from the oats and fenugreek I take to help my supply... Such a double edge sword.
Weight: 7 lbs 7 oz at 7 weeks- Dr appt tomorrow but I'd guess she's probably 7 lb 14 or 15? oz based on her gain history. We struggled at first with weight gain so she didn't hit her birth weight of 6 lb 14 oz until her 5 week appt. She's been gaining 3-4 oz a week since which is healthy.
DD turned 11 weeks today
