if you FF, how much in dry product?

My DD just turned 5 months old, She's been great on enfamil infant, and I currently have a good stock pile of formula that should last ~late Feb. 

 

My estimation is only approximate, but we go through about the 23.4oz tub in about 5-8 days (I used to have a better accurate) .

My question is, how much formula are older babies still drinking? 

*Right now in prepared formula its about 24-30oz a day. 

 

Sorry if I am confusing! TIA!

I buy the big tubs of Similac from Sam's club.  One tub lasts about a week & a few days.  My LO drinks anywhere between 30 - 34 oz a day.

O ok! Not sure how much is in the similac tub, but it sounds like they stay close to the 25-35oz range a day. 

 

thank you!

Chloe is drinking about 24 ounces a day (sometimes as few as 18 ounces and occasionally as many as 28).  Hope that helps.

Madelyn drinks around 25 - 30 oz of formula a day plus 3 meals of solids (so approx 6-8 oz of solids a day right now).

At 5-6 months, she would typically eat 24-28 oz a day. My pedi told me that usually they are pretty consistent with their formula intake from 6 months on, but will start to eat more solids (although formula / breastmilk should still be their main source of nutrition until 1 year of age)

My DD drinks about 20 oz of formula a day & eats 3 meals of solids.  That started at about 6 months.

I have one that takes 16-24oz a day and one that does 24-32oz a day. 

She may increase her daily intake a little bit in the next month or so, but once you start adding solids it will drop a tad.

Thanks ladies! So helpful! We've started rice cereal a few weeks ago, but nothing major, just a teaspoon or two.

I'm excited to give her more "solid" food
