Formula Feeders with 8ish month olds . . . .

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
What is your formula feeding schedule like? I am thinking of trying to wean DS and I am completely oblivious to how much formula to give him and when. I have always nursed on demand. He eats 3 puree meals a day and at daycare will usually take 2 5oz bottles of BM and he nurses two-three other times throughout the day/night. If you could provide me with a rough scheldule it would be helpful! Oh and he is a big boy 21 lbs! Don't know if that matters much. . . TIA!

    Gianna had one 6 or 7 oz bottle every 4 hours when awake.  So that's either 3 or 4 bottles depending on when she wakes up. She STTN.  She also eats solids  2-3 times a day.  But she doesn't eat a ton.

    DS is also 21 pounds and eats 3 solid meals a day.

    He has a 7.5oz (total, 6oz water plus formula and cereal) sometime during the night, usually around 8AM (he gets up around noon).

    He usually has two or three 3.5 - 4oz bottles during the day, either with meals or alone. No real set time, just whenever he seems hungry. If it's close to a meal time for me, I'll give him the bottle with his food, otherwise he gets it alone.

    Normally he gets a 3.5oz bottle right before bed, but some nights he'll drink twice that. Some nights I have to dream feed him right before I go to bed around 2AM because he didn't eat at his bedtime.

    So, in total, he's normally eating in the 16 - 21 ounces range in a 24 hour period, which is right on target for what the pedi said.

    li'l i eats three puree meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) per day, and i give her bottles on demand. it probably adds up to 2-3 8oz bottles per day and one overnight. she weighs about 21 pounds as well.

    hope that helps... good luck!

    DS takes four 7 oz bottles a day plus 2 solid meals (I am going to add a third soon).

    Jake is a little younger, but weighs about the same and eats about the same amount of solids.  He drinks between 21 and 24 oz of formula most days.  Once in a while he'll hit 28 or 30.
