How many ounces per day for LO?

lach1137

I just recently stopped breastfeeding, so am now able to accurately measure how many ounces DS is getting. He just went down for the night (he STTN) and has had 28.25 ounces today. I was expecting at least 30-32 for some reason. Is this average for his age? 4 months, 1 week, 2 days.

Not sure of his weight (he has his 4 mo appt on Monday), but believe he is about 13-14 pounds.

Just curious what other little ones are eating for those NOT breastfeeding anymore.

Thanks!

My lo drinks about 28oz a day (two 8oz bottles, and two 6oz bottles).

My LO is 13lbs and drinks from 23 to 27 oz per day. She still eats every 2-3 hours.

My little guy drinks about 30-36 oz. a day (5 or 6, 6oz. bottles) It seems like a lot to me but was told it's ok. He is about 17lbs. probably a little over.

DD drinks 26 oz. a day.  She is 16 lbs.

kellymom.com suggests 22 to 30 ounces/day for 1 to 6 months.

DS is not a good eater. He's takes in about 2025 oz per day. He was 13.5 lbs at his appt last this past Monday.

I can't seem to fill DS up. He only weighs 13 lb, 6 oz and he is slender for his height. He eats 36 oz per day, 6 oz at a time. He seems much happier now that we have also started cereal.
