    I make 4 7oz bottles.  He usually leaves an ounce or so in a few bottles, so I would say more like 24-26oz a day.  I voted for the 25-30oz because thats what I offer him.

    The ranges above don't work for me.  He drinks between 24-32.  It just depends on the day.

    I guessed 25-30.  She usually nurses 5 times and we give her 8 oz of BM in a bottle at supper time.

    DS gets 9 oz. of formula per day (b/c of low supply) and the rest is BM, so I have no idea what the total is.

    I truly don't know - I voted 30-35 but some days, when MIL is stuffing him with food instead of his bottle, it's probably closer to 25 .

    Week days he gets 4, 4oz bottles and nurses ~5 times between night/morning. The morning and before bed are definitely more eating vs. middle of the night comfort nursing for a few minutes so it's hard to say.

    We've been pretty inconsistent with solids and we're just now getting in the habit of him getting lunch every day and dinner most days. But even with offering more often he doesn't truly eat much so I expect his milk intake to remain high until after 1yr.

    He drinks 4 - 2oz bottles at daycare (from 8;30-4:30) and then nurses the rest of the time (reverse cycling - no way of  knowing how much he's getting)

    I nurse him mostly so I don't know. But at day care he gets 12 oz over 7 hours then at home we nurse 2 times during the day and I don't count how much at night...

    I also have no clue because I EBF, but he typically gets 1-7oz bottle a day.
