FF: How much does your kid eat?

DETrent · July 2014

Just wondering...
LO goes through spurts where he eats a ton and then tapers off. Until recently, he has been fairly consistent with 30-35 oz. per day, but over the past two weeks, I'm lucky if he eats 25 oz. a day. We're still offering solids, but he doesn't eat much of those either.

So how many oz. do your LOs average per day?

Usually five 6oz bottles, with 2 solids. But she's been teething and running a fever. There were 2 days last week where she only ate 24ish.

Usually three 6 oz bottles and one 8 oz at night....so 26ish.

24-28oz

She gets 7 ounces 4-5 times a day. Some days she seems to eat a lot more, other days less.

Graham takes usually 34 oz a day plus two meals of solids. It doesn't seem too crazy to me since the kid is over 26lbs.

DD nurses in the morning, so 2-3 ounces. Has 3-4 4 ounce bottles at daycare and 6 ounces at night. She also has oatmeal and fruit and snacks at daycare, sometimes purées at night and whatever we are eating. Her total ounces of milk per day are 21-25

30-32/day every day. She never varies or leaves formula behind. It's written in stone for her. 2 or 3 meals of solids but that varied in amount, depending on if it's pureés or bits of food.

Usually a 7 oz. bottle in the morning and before bed, and three 6 oz. bottles between. And about 2-4 oz. of purées and a handful of magical Puffs. Although, we have our 6th tooth coming in, so he's been leaving some milk behind lately. =P~

Between 24 and 28 oz per day. She normally takes 4 6oz bottles and sometimes she'll take an extra 4 oz. She also has 3 stage 2 containers of baby food a day.

I voted 11-20 bc DS is taking 18-20oz per day. He would only take about 15 per day if we didn't have the tube though. He eats three good solids meals a day and drinks lots of water. I know he is on the low side but we are trying to wean him off his feeding tube.

On a related note, a friend of mine told me her 8 month old is down to 6ish ounces of formula per day. He has bad reflux and throws up lots of formula. He eats allthesolidfoods like a champ, but still, I was shocked!

This. They used to be 8oz bottles but she has been cutting herself back

I said 21-30

6oz bottle in the morning, then 3 5oz bottles during the day and 6oz bottle before bed...sometimes he doesn't finish the bottles, but he eats a lot of solids

Over 26 pounds already? An O13 baby?

How long is he?

ajjf1026 · July 2014

Between 32-36oz a day plus 2-3 oz of solids 2x a day. Some days he will have closer to 40 oz of formula. He weighs 21.5 lbs.

A late O13 baby. He just turned 8 mo on the 25th. I'm not sure how long he is because he doesn't have his 9 mo check up until later this month. He tagged along to DD's 5 yo check up last week though and since I asked, they weighed him for me. 26 lb 3 oz. He had just missed 23 lb by 1/2 oz at 6 mo, so he's up a little over 3 lbs in 2 mo. At least he's slowing down!
