7 months--how many ounces at a time?

SeaStar430

Allie is still drinking 6 ounces at a time, do I need to increase that at some point?  How many ounces does your baby eat at a time?

Nate is usually drinking 6 oz. at a time, too.  Sometimes it's 5, though, and before bed I make a 7 or 8 oz. bottle just to make sure he gets as much as he can before bedtime.

Leighton is almost 7 months old and I still feed her 6 oz...lately though she hasn't wanted more than 4 or 5 though.

We are still doing 6 oz each feeding with the exception of her 9:30 am and 7:00 pm which are normally 4 oz with solids.  She drinks 5 bottles per day 26 oz

Connor was eating 6 oz at that age and still does, but sometimes it's less.  I would say you don't need to increase it unless he is still hungry after finishing it.

Aidan drinks 8 oz at a time. Usually 5 bottles a day. Seems like a lot to me but his pedi isn't concerned so... I guess it's okay.

Lanie is 6.5 months and still only takes 6oz at a time.  If she has more she spits up more.

Lennon is at 6oz in the am and before bed, 4 throughout the day, every four hours, however he's eating baby food. Pedi told me she felt it was perfect for him.  I would give him more than 4 if he wanted it, but in the am and a night I can barely get him to take a full 6 oz.

He's also a preemie, I don't know if that makes a difference.

Personally I would only increase it if you feel that your LO is still hungry..if she is fine..Dont feel like you have to..Noah eats solids but eats 5 bottles a day and most times he only has 5oz sometimes 6

We're doing 6oz still, 5 bottles a day.  Sometimes he won't eat it all.  And lately he's been eating one during the night too, so I guess it's really 6 bottles.  Occasionally we can get him to do 8oz before bed, but it's usually a struggle just to get 6oz in.

I can only get my DS to drink 4oz at a time 4 times during the day.  At night he will drink 2- 6 oz bottles (one before bed and one at 2:30am).  My pedi said he needs 20 oz a day.  It doesn't sound like a lot to me.  I try and give him 6 oz and he just spits the bottle out and won't take anymore after 4 oz.  When he is done he is done.  He is also eating solids 3 meals a day. How do you make LO's take more?

L only drinks 4-6 oz. most of the time now.  Sometimes he'll even just take 3!  He had a big decrease around 6 mo. that has just continued, so I've tried to increase solids a bit....The pedi said it was normal at this age, I guess...

DS drinks 9 ozs at a time (BM) - he's a chow hound. He freaks if there is less in the bottle of if I take it out of his mouth before he's done.. He gets 3 bottles at daycare and a serving of solids, I nurse him when we get home (definitely less than 9 ozs) and give him more solids - then he gets a 9 oz bottle before bed...  so I'd estimate probably 40 ozs/day of BM...

The only time I've had to increase is when she drops a feeding.  Then she wants more in each of those bottles to make up for it.

4 bottles a day -  6-8 ounces ......we are doing solids an hour after his morning bottle and solids between 3rd and 4th bottle.

DD drinks 4-6 oz in each bottle.  Use to be mostly 6 ounces but the past 3 weeks or so she only wants 4.  I try to get her to at least drink 5 but sometimes she will just throw it up so i am trying to stop pushing it when she doesnt want anymore.
