    No solids yet!  But he takes 5 - 6 oz bottles a day.  30 oz a day.  Once in a while he may have an extra bottle if he is extra hungry.

    Evelyn is just over 15 lbs and turned 5 mos last week.

    She eats 6 ounces at a time, except for her first bottle in the morning where she eats 3 ounces for some reason, LOL

    She eats once in the middle of the night, then when she wakes up, whenever that is.

    From there she eats every 3 hours or so.  So on average she gets about 6 bottles a day, and around 30-33 ounces

    We had started cereal and started with rice.  Did it for a week and she wasn't really liking it, so we switched to oatmeal.  Did that for a week and then she started having poop issues.  She went from pooping once a day to pooping 8-9 times a day and it was really liquidy.  So we stopped all cereal until she can get normal again.

    I haven't decided if we're going to start rice again or just wait a little bit and go right to veggies and fruits.

    DD is eating about 30 ounces per day spread out over 5-6 bottles.  Occasionally she'll have a 35 ounce day and usually the following day she won't eat much at all.

    At the recommendation of our Ped and Occupational Therapist we are not starting solids until her adjusted age is 6 months.

    Our LO has a 4 ounce bottle in the morning before daycare, three 6 ounce bottles at daycare, and then a 4 ounce bottle following a tablespoon of oatmeal, and a 6 ounce bottle before bed....and typically, one bottle of 2-4 ounces during the night. So - as many as 36 ounces of formula in a 24 hour period, plus some oatmeal. It's often a bit less on weekends, because his schedule isn't quite as consistent as at daycare I guess.

    I worry sometimes that he eats too much, but my pediatrician said he's fine!

    oh - and we'll talk to the pediatrician this week about introducing veggies....

    We started solids about a month ago.  She eats cereal in the morning and cereal and veggies for dinner.  As far as bottles go.  She never eats the same amount but on average she drinks 32-39 oz per day.  She's almost sleeping through the night.  When she sleeps through the night she eats 32 oz, when she doesn't it's more around 39 oz.  I have no idea what makes STTN and what doesn't.  I have given up trying to figure it out.
