Formula/BM intake?

How much is LO drinking, daily total? B is drinking around 30 oz a day and he would drink more I let him. Does the seem high? Should I be worry that something else is wrong and that's why he is drinking so much?

    J drinks 35oz a day. He's takes 5 7oz bottles. He was only getting 6oz bottles but started getting hungry more frequently so I added an oz and he's back to eating every 2-4hrs. We haven't been very consistent with solids.

    30 oz of breast milk sounds about right. I have no experience with formula so I don't know how much kids drink.

    DS2 gets 14-16 oz a day at daycare and nurses at least 6 more times. I'd guess he's in the 35-40 oz a day group. DS1 always took smaller bottles but nursed about this frequently. He probably took in closer to 30 oz a day.

    @CL8badB he usually gets at least one solids a day. Sometimes two. It just seemed like a lot but I guess not.

    Avg of about 30 oz. of formula plus 2 3 oz servings of solids every day. Occasionally he will have one more 6 oz bottle.

    3, 5.5 oz bottles at daycare plus nurses 3 times at home. I'm guessing he gets around 30 oz a day, plus 2 servings of solids.

    We have about 30-35 oz daily with 2 servings of solids. Yours sounds fine

    You may be on the high side but we are majorly on the low side.  Low 20s is an amazing day for us and we only get that high if daycare mixes his cereal with 2-3 ounces of formula at both breakfast and lunch.  That kid would rather starve than drink a lot of formula these days.

    30 ounces a day give or take.  I think the amount you are doing is just fine.  Our pedi said that even when our LO gets up to three meals a day, he should still be drinking a minimum of 24 ounces.

    32ozs of formula a day and 3 servings of solids AND he'd keep going happily. He's my chubs.
