How many ounces of formula are you feeding?

Im not sure if Im giving to much or too little.....LO is 11mos, she will be 1 on just about 2 weeks. her weight has always been fine according to her Ped.  I generally feed her 24oz of formula per day.  So approx 5-6 oz 4-5 times per day.  I also feed her fruits, protein and veggies with her bottles.

    DD2 is about the same age as your LO. She is small (5% for weight) and will only take 16-17oz of formula a day, in addition to 3 full meals and snacks here and there. Our pedi recommends 18-24oz/day at this age, so you are right on track.

    DD will be 1 on Sept. 17.  She has 2 bottles/day, 6 oz each, so 12 oz total.  Her bottles are when she wakes up and part of bedtime.  She also eats three solid, balanced meals and some snacks every day, and has cow milk with at least one of her meals.

    At her 9 month appointment, her pedi said she was something like 86% for weight, and told me to drop her down from the 28ish oz of formula she was eating then to about 18, and told me that formula could be done by the time she turned 1, so here we are.  She had three bottles(total 18 oz)/day until right around her 11 month birthday when we dropped the afternoon bottle.

    DD gets six ounces four times a day. She doesn't always finish every bottle but she usually gets 24 ounces a day.

    My son will be one on 9/16. He gets a 7oz bottle when he wakes up, a sippy of formula with lunch, and a 7oz bottle before bed. He usually only drinks a few ounces at lunch, so I'd say he gets about 1618oz of formula a day. He also eats 3 meals and a snack. We plan to start WCM soon...

    But he is close to 25lbs, so we are not at all worried about him gaining weight or anything.

    DD is almost 10 months. We recently dropped her to 16 oz per day. She wasn't always finishing her bottles and we were giving her a bigger one for bed, so I dropped that one to less. She gets 4 bottles, 4 oz each. She eats 3 meals a day and a snack. She's in the 65% for weight at 19.5 lbs.
