CPW: Bottle Feeders

V&G101808 · April 2014

How many ounces per bottle does your LO drink? Feel free to list how many bottles a day/how often.

V&G101808 · April 2014

I serve N 5-6oz bottles. He finishes about 2 full bottles a day, drinks mostly 5 from most (I voted 6 though since thats what I serve).

I'd like to work on more ounces/less bottles with the introduction of more solids per day but I'm not sure how to go about it... over-thinking it definitely!

Same here. To a T.

LO gets 6 oz. in the morning and at night, and 4 oz. for feedings during the day (she eats every 2.5 hours).

Caz1221 · April 2014

I voted 5 oz, but it's actually 4.5 oz per bottle (all BM). LO gets three 4.5 oz bottles (13.5 oz total) during the 8.5-10 hours she's at DC. She also BFs 3 times per day (when she wakes up in the morning, when she gets home from DC, and at bedtime), 4 times if she decides to get up in the MOTN.

She consistently drinks 5 5oz bottles a day. The length of time between bottles varies but she always gets 25oz

LEMSA · April 2014

4 oz BM bottles 3x/ day when in gone 14 hrs. Really it's 4 oz every 4 oz. plus solids 2-3x/day.

We offer 3 6 oz bottles while I'm at work. She usually leaves a couple of oz in one or 2 bottles a day.

catskitch · April 2014

6oz bottles whenever we bottle feed (either when I'm at work or to replace a feeding). he sometimes doesn't finish it. I've offered more before, and he stops at 6oz

SS - I'm not a bottle feeding, but I can't help myself. I have to vote, it's a disease.

This is pretty much us, except he's still nursing in the motn every 2-2.5 hrs. He was taking 4 4oz bottles, but now they're up to 4.5oz, and I'm hoping to get to 5oz in the next 2 weeks. He sometimes doesn't drink the whole 4.5 oz at daycare though, so they'll add t to his next bottle.

SS- C drinks 4-6oz. It varies.

karabear11 · April 2014

We do 3 4oz bottles when I am at work and nurse before daycare and after and motn.

Ditto @TrueBeliever925‌ & @V&G101808 Kyler is the same way plus has 3 purees a day and snacks

This is us too. Plus at least one 4oz bottle MOTN

alexkylee · April 2014

LO's gastro had us increase to 4.5 oz this week and I think we'll go up to 5 soon. She also gets solids twice a day, but the pediatrician wants us to be at three by nine months. I think we'll increase next week.

Texasmomma13 · April 2014

FF, 4-8 oz per day.

ladyoriza · April 2014

Lately it's been 4-8oz, but it used to be (as in last week) 4-6oz. I don't know if this is a growth spurt or what.

magdalina.h · April 2014

she takes 3 5 oz bottles during the day.

vulpini · April 2014

He consistently takes about 7 4oz bottles and 2 meals of solids each day (transitioning to 3 meals a day). For a few of those bottles though he'll drink 2oz, then will get distracted, play for a while, then asks for the other 2oz 30-45 minutes later. He pretty much eats every 2 hours during the day and once at night around 3-5am
