My DS will be 6 months on the 10th. He is eating 4-5 (8oz) bottles a day. Plus, he usually eats 3-4 tablespoons of oatmeal 2x a day. He occasionally gets a thing of veggies as well.
DS eats 4 bottles a day, 8 ounces each. He also eats three solids a day - rice cereal for breakfast time, a fruit for "lunch" and a veggie around dinner. His schedule looks a little like this:
6 a.m. - 8 ounce bottle
8:30 a.m. - 2 tbsp. rice cereal
10:00 a.m. - 8 ounce bottle
Noon - Fruit (Stage 1 size)
2:30 p.m. - 8 ounce bottle
5:30 or 6:00 p.m. - Veggie (Stage 1 size)
7:30 - 8 ounce bottle
Some nights, he does not take the full 8 ounce bottle right before he goes to bed. He may only take 4 or 6 ounces of it. He is also a pretty big boy (19 lbs, 9 ounces (90%) and 27 inches (75%) at his 6 month appointment 2 weeks ago). Hope that helps!
DS has 4 8oz bottles a day and then solids for "breakfast" and "dinner". DS is just about to turn 7 months so we'll be adding a third meal of yogurt w/ fruit at lunch time within a week or so. But this is the schedule as of right now...
7:30am - 8oz bottle
9:30 or 10am - 2-3 tbs. of oatmeal with either stage 1 or stage 2 fruits (usually prunes)
11:30am - 8oz bottle
3:30pm - 8oz bottle
6:30pm - 3-4 ozs of veggies or fruits and veggies mixed
DD only takes 4oz bottles so she gets like 5 to 7 a day... I wish she would take more so she could go longer in between bottles but she has a really small stomach or something because anymore than 4oz she just throws it up ...ewww... sometimes but very rarely she can hold down a 5oz bottle. Anyways... she gets 3 meals of solids a day. Her schedule looks like this (times may vary b/c everyday is different but you get the idea... LOL)
6am-4oz bottle
730am-1/2 to a whole tub of stage 1 fruit
10am-4oz bottle
1pm- 1/2 stage one fruit or veggie or 1/3 of stage 2 like chicken noodle or mac and cheese something like that and 4oz bottle
5pm- 1/2 stage 1 fruit or veggie 4oz bottle
730pm-4oz bottle. (seems kinda soon after the 5pm bottle but thats when she goes down for the night and she has to have a bottle to go down.. sometimes she only takes 3oz)
she gets up after about 8hrs eats and goes back down for 3 or 4hrs so i guess that counts as another bottle. so all together 24oz of formula a day.
HTH- DD isnt a big eater so probably not the best to compare too LOL shes pretty average sized tho, 15lbs.
