How much are your LO's taking in these days??? What does your bottle feeding schedule look like?

Re: Formula Amount
My DD eats a ton, so I'm not sure if this is typical.
7 pm- 8 oz
10:30 pm- Solids
11 pm- 7 oz
2:30 pm- Solids
3 pm- 7 oz
6:15 pm- Solids
7 pm- 7 oz
My DD is the opposite - not a huge eater. She drinks 6 oz on rising in the morning, and then we pack two 6 ounce bottles and two 4 ounce bottles for day care. She usually only drinks three out of four of those bottles during the day, so one of them winds up being dinner once at home.
Overall, that's 26 ounces a day. Sometimes she wants another two ounces, and it winds up being 28. She can't manage to finish a full 8 ounces at once yet.
She also gets a jar of peas, carrots or sweet potatoes once in a while, but since she can't sit up on her own yet, this isn't a daily thing.
Anywhere from 26-30 oz usually.
2 solid meals a day. Breakfast and Dinner. I'll add lunch around 7-8 months.
DS takes 30 ounces a day. 5 bottles @ 6oz each
6:30am then cereal
9:30ish then fruit
1:30ish then veggie/meat
4:00ish
5:30 (no bottle) veggie/meat, fruit, cereal
7:30pm
DD's day looks like this:
6:30AM- 5 oz bottle
8:30ishAM- 2-4 oz fruit and cereal or fruit and yogurt mix
9:30ishAM- 4 oz bottle
12:30ish- 5 oz bottle
3:30ish- 5oz bottle
5:30- 3-4 oz veg/meat or veg/veg combo
6:30 or 7pm- 6 oz bottle
Total of 25 oz formula a day and breakfast and dinner. Now that DD is crawling and pulling herself up, I am about to add lunch. GO Ella, 7 months tomorrow!!!!
6-6:30am: 5-6oz bottle
8am: 4oz solids (fruit and oatmeal)
9:30-10am: 4-5oz bottle
11:30: 4oz solids (fruit and veggie combo)
12:30-1pm: 4-5oz bottle
3:30-4pm: 4-5oz bottle
6pm: 4oz solids (veggies and rice)
7:30pm: 5-6oz bottle
DD generally sleeps from about 8pm-6am. Sometimes she wakes up around 2 or 3am (not always because she's hungry) and if she's acting hungry (i.e. not back asleep within 10 minutes or so) I'll give her a small bottle to hold her over till the morning.
