how many ounces does your LO drink?

DD is currently eating 5 6-7oz bottles - so essentially 30-35oz. When I spoke to the dr at her 9 month appointment, she said not to start cutting back till she's 11 or so months, but that seems like so much formula, especially now that she's starting to eat 3 meals and snacks.

LO currently is in the same range. He has usually has four 7oz bottles and one 8oz (first morning bottle). Recently he hasn't been finishing all his morning or afternoon bottles.

30-35 ounces per day is pretty average, per my ped. We just cut his bottles from 8 oz down to 6 oz because he was spitting up a lot and we're working solids in. But he gets usually 5 or 6, six ounce bottles

Bailey only eats between 20 and 24 ounces each day. She used to eat so much more, but she loves solids and has cut down on the formula lately. The doc said yesterday that its fine. She has a 4oz bottle around 6am then sleeps until around 8:30. 6 oz bottles before 1st and 2nd nap. I make her a 6oz bottle before bed but she usually only drinks 4 or 5 oz before she spits the bottle out and wants her binki and crib.

LO has 4 bottles and they range from 6-8 oz. It sucks because I feel like I'm wasting formula when I make him 8 ounces and then he barely eats 6, but I let him eat as much or as little as he wants. He eats 3 "meals" a day but sometimes those meals are nothing more than a few bites of my dinner or lunch. I'm not too worried about his eating as he's on the chubby side lol

DS drinks about 5 - 6 ounce bottles, he has been eating oatmeal for breakfast, a puree at lunch and dinner and we also give him some of what we are eating for dinner. DS has always been an eater, so we have cut back (his choice) about 10 ounces of formula since he started eating.

Alice gets 3 8 or 9 oz bottles. So somewhere between 24 and 27oz. If we have been out and about and she hasn't had a lot of solids, I will give her another 4 or 5 oz during the day.

N has about 30 oz a day. He has about 5 6oz bottles a day. He's been pretty consistent the past month or so.

Pretty much this. The past week or so she has not been drinking as much, still getting wet diapers and doesn't get grumpy just less between meals.

Wesley has 5 6 oz bottles in a 24 hour period. He has cut back on his 6th bottle and would rather eat solids instead. My pedi said it was normal and to not stress about it.
