and how many ounces in a day?

My daughter still takes 4 ounce bottles, but finishes 28-32 ounces a day. Is this typical? Should she get more ounces per bottle?

i pump during the day and nurse at night. my lo takes 4 oz bottle every 3 to 4 hours and i make 9 bottles per day on a good day i freeze the rest.

T just started eating 5 oz on a regular basis. He has been a light eater since birth so I was able to get ahead of him and built a good freezer stash. He eats an average of 30 oz a day, but I can pump about 50. I think I have an over supply so I'm not sure what the 'norm' is.

I think if she's satisfied with the 4oz (typically "defined" as going 2-3+ hours between bottles I believe), then you're fine. When I started back at work and had to send bottles, DD was flying through four 4oz bottles (every 2 hours) and she was pretty upset when she finished each bottle. We eventually worked out way up to 6oz bottles and she takes 3 (every 3ish hours). She can still down it pretty quickly so she needs to be distracted for a few minutes afterwards to realize she's full, but it's been working.

Her total intake seems good - BF babies typically take in 25-30oz per day, so you're right on track with 7-8 feedings of 4oz.

DS takes 7 ozs each setting and has 5-6 bottles a day.... I pimp about 35 ozs a day

My daughter usually takes 7-8 4oz. bottles a day as well. We tried upping it to 5 oz. a couple times, but she acts like she doesn't want it after 4. She's very content with 4 oz. at a time.
