How many oz. does your 6 month old eat in 24 hours?

sourpatchkids · January 2011

I read that how many oz. your LO should eat per day is double their body weight up to 32 oz. Obviously, it won't be exact - some babies eat more, some less. DS still eats 1-2 bottles during the night. So he eats 3 6oz bottles during the day, 1 7oz bottle before bed and then 1-2 6oz bottles at night. He gets 31-37oz in a 24 hour period if he finishes all of his bottles.

Just wanting to see how that measures up with the other 6 month babies on the board!

ETA: He also has 2 stage 1 baby foods (1 veggie, 1 fruit) each day

This. He gets 4 6oz. bottles. Sometimes he gets another 2oz. bottle if he wakes up super early and won't go back to sleep.

DD was getting (5) 7oz bottles when she was six months old. She would eat anywhere from 25-31 oz.

Usually about 27 ounces, plus oatmeal twice a day and solids twice a day. This is over 5 bottles; 6 ounces when she wakes up, 6 at 10am, 5 at 1pm, 5 at 4pm, then 5 at bedtime, usually 6-7pm.

27-30 oz. + solids twice, sometimes 3 times a day.

LO gets 28-30 oz a day, plus solids. We make our own so he gets 2-3 cubes per serving. LO is a pretty big eater

DS is 7mths and nurses 8am, 12pm, 4pm, 7pm and once or twice during the night. Not sure how many ounces tho. He only feeds off of one side at a time so it's probably only 4 or 5 ounces tops. He eats solids twice a day.

My LO will eat anywhere from 20-30 ounces a day...more so on the low end. He has never been one for drinking his formula since he had reflux and it always hurt him to drink. He also eats 2-3 solid meals a day (cereal with additional formula in it to up the daily intake).

30-32 oz a day, plus solids 2-3 times per day.

I am guessing 24oz of bm plus 3 meals a day- she eats a lot of solids and then maybe a 8 oz bottle of formula.

This is the exact same for me and my DS. I was nervous he wasn't getting enough because he only does one side at a time, so I would estimate he gets about 20-25 oz plus 2 servings of veggies (we haven't started fruits yet).
