How many ounces is your LO drinking daily?

DD still gets BM (I weaned her from BFing, so she is just drinking what I had stashed), but only drinks about 22-24oz per day. She has 2 "solids" meals per day ... but only like 1 jar total between the 2 meals.

I know she is a little peanut, but just wondered how many oz other babies her age were drinking!

    DS is drinking 32 oz of formula a day and 3 solids meals between the bottles. I have just started giving him a little bit of table food with his supper as well.

    Somewhere between 24 and 32 ounces daily, with the average being closer to 28 ounces.

    Ready for a shocker?

    She averages probably about 17 ounces a day.  Her highest before introducing any solids was 24 ounces.  Maybe a couple days she did 26.  As soon as I started introducing food of any kind she droped a couple ounces and now whether I do solids or not (and I tried yesterday with no solids) she'll drink about 17 or 18 ounces.  My oldest did this exact same thing so I am not worried at all.

    ETA: She is on formula and has been since 6 weeeks.

    BM and F are not totally equitabloe oz wise.  I BF and LO takes between 16 and 24 oz while I am at work plus whatever she nurses when I am home with 2-3 BLW sessions a day with some oatmeal and puree on accasion. I don't think she is getting tons from the solids but hope the info is helpful

    I'm lucky if she does 18. She gets three solids and will usually finish them.

    I'm so glad for this post. I've been worried the past 2-3 weeks about her BM intake. It seems that regardless of solids intake, she is taking about 20 oz...if I am lucky. Sometimes it feels like I'm forcing the BM. I've tried breastfeeding or pumping/bottle and it's the same. I've wasted SO MUCH BM the past few weeks trying to figure it out. I am now at a place where I'm not so worried and just guessing that her body is adjusting. She's still in the 90s for weight/height percentiles so she is good, I think :)

    35-42oz of Formula. She is on Alimentum so she gets hungier faster these days. I am looking to switch to Advance similac.

    Thanks for the responses, ladies!

    DD#1 only took about 16oz at best ... (her highest ever in 1 day was 24oz) and was a struggle to feed her. She was also below 10%, and her Pedi's constantly had us bringing her in for weight checks. She is a healthy average 3.5 year old now.

    Well, DD#2 is even littler, but her Pedi (different one than 1st DD) isn't concerned.  However, she's weighed around the same for the past 2 months ... maybe plus a 1/2 lb.

    I know that in a year I'll look back and say, "She was fine, just going the same route as DD#1 and starting off slow" .... but right now I just wish she would eat/gain more - it would just put me at ease more.

    I was actually worried about this recently... (not entirely sure what the total oz are per day since I breast-feed with the exception of the last bottle of the day, which I pump). The last bottle of the day however went from 5 oz to 2oz when we really started solids. I made an appt with the Dr. and he said not to worry about it, she'll take what she needs both with solids and milk.

    Mine drinks about 26 oz of formula a day and has 2 meals of food a day which is also about 1-1.5 jars of food total. Feeding is honestly a struggle, she's extremely active and never seems hungry. She's on the small side too, little munchkin:)

    DD nurses before daycare (probably around 5oz based on pump output), then 12-16oz of BM at daycare. She'll then nurse 2-3 more times after I get home. We are only doing solids once a day and she gets 1-2oz of purees. I'd estimate 25-28oz a day.

    DS gets three meals a day of cereal and a jar or two jars of food. Nurse before work and then get tow more five ounce bottles and then nurses again before bed. I would say about three meals and at most 20oz.
