Just out of curiosity how much formula does your baby have over a 24 hour period?
Query by kerry: Just out of curiosity how significantly formula does your infant have over a 24 hour period?
My daughter is 23 weeks old and I was just questioning what other babies about this age drank in a day? Also what does your child weigh and how several feeds a day?
I know all babies are unique and you ought to give them what they want but I was just wondering.

My son just hit five months. I have him cut back to 56 oz per day (Seven 8oz bottles) of formula and 2 jars of food. He was consuming pretty much 80 oz of formula a day, so the food is generating up for it now. He is 23 lbs and ǽ.75 inches prolonged. He is a pretty massive infant!

My son will be 4 months next week and he drinks about 30 oz a day. Usually about 6 oz every 2 1/2 hours. He takes a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon and sleeps about 12 hours straight through at night, so that really only leaves about 10 hours a day that he’s awake and eating. So he has about 5 bottles a day on average. He will be drinking less formula in the coming weeks because we recently started spoon feeding cereal and stage 1 fruits, which will take the place of at least 1 bottle a day. He weighs about 15 lbs and is about 24 inches tall, so he is perfectly proportioned and by no means over-weight. Hope this helped.

At 6 months he is eating 5-7 oz every 3-4 hours, sometimes sleeps through the night so he doesn’t have a bottle. He also has two or three jars of food a day, too.
Around 23 weeks, it was probably about 5 oz every 3-4 hours.
He is 17 lbs, 40% percentile.

My daughter is 5 1/2 months and she currently eats 7oz bottles every 2-3 hours during the day and 2 meals a day (usually breakfast and dinner). During the night she sleeps from 9pm – 9am .. I know, I’m lucky
ADD: Oh yeah, at her 4 month check up she was just about 13lbs. She can eat and eat, but she stays small! She is the 25% for weight and 50% for height and has been since she was born @ 8lbs. 3oz.

My son is 13 months and just has one 9oz bottle per day (when he wakes up in a morning).
At that age, he was having five 7-8oz bottles per day… roughly every 3-4 hours. He slept through the night so didn’t have any night feeds.
