How much Milk?

Question

My boy is almost 7 months now 😱 and I've started attempting to give him some formula, and the occasional bottle of pumped milk. However, up until now he's been at a solid 4 oz. He's always been a bit unhappy after a bottle because he wants boobs, but he's never been HUNGRY. Now I'm wondering when to up his amount? I just got rid of all his tiny baby 4 oz bottles because they were plastic and grossing me out, and now we have 9 oz bottles and it looks so empty when I put just a few oz in at a time!

How much are your babies eating at once now, and is it formula or breast milk?

Answer

Exclusive pumper here too...we're at 5.5-6oz bottles 5 times a day. She started to  let me know she wanted more so I upped it and it's remained that much since

Answer

My daughter takes 5-6oz every 3-4 hours. She's formula fed now, but ate the same amount when we did BF.

Answer

I exclusively pump. The amount varies for my little guy but he usually can drink 5 oz every sitting. Sometimes he can drink 8 oz and other times he'll take 3oz. We usually feed him every 3 hours. Daily average is around 30 oz. we started on solids (very little each day for practice and introduction) but his milk intake is still the same.

Answer

I give 7 oz every 2-3 hours. My daughter is 6 months and I give her formula.

Answer

At 7 months, if baby is showing interest and hunger, I'd definitely work on encorporating solids/puréed food

Answer

I exclusively pump and she gets 5oz six times a day.

Answer

I've been exclusively pumping since the beginning. LO is now eating 7-9 oz of breastmilk 4 times a day. The 9 oz is usually just before bed, the other 3 bottles he'll eat 7 or 8 oz each.
