How many mls and how many bottles are your babies having ?

Question

My son is 8 and a half months old he’s only have 3 sometimes 4 throughout the day as well as 3 meals and light snacks, my child health nurse has told me to start cutting down on bottles as it’s only making him chubby and as long as he’s having three meals a day he shouldn’t need as many, 
But I just wanted to know how other mums are feeding and how much for their babies, 
He has 180mls ever 4/5 hours  
And usually sleeps from 7:30 til about 7am 
Thanks would be really be helpful

Answer

pfft that nurse sounds a little daft if you ask me. 8.5 months is not the time to start worrying if he's too chubby (unless he's gaining much faster than his growth curve should be)    my 9 month old has either 120ml WITH breakfast or 135-150 an hour or so after depending on how well she ate. 105ml with lunch, trying to get her to drink it from her sippy cup so sometimes she only takes 90ml. she isn't keen on solids most afternoons bc she usually eats like a horse at lunch so afternoon she'll have 3 bottles before bed, each is usually 150-180ml. she goes to bed around 5;30-6 and sleeps until 5am most nights, then she has another 150-165ml and back to bed until breakfast around 8. in total, she has an average of 24oz or about 700ml. sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less (if she does actually eat her third meal)     may I ask how much your son weighs? my daughter is a tiny peanut so she's not the best comparison but she weighs 16.8lb now

Answer

my 7 month old has 4 bottles a day, the first is 6 oz (170ml) and the rest are 5 oz (140 ml) she's has about 3 - 4 hours between each bottle and has solids 3 times a day

Answer

my 9 month old has 4 bottles a day (6oz each) and has 3 small meals a day. She is perfectly healthy :)
