How much milk is your baby having in a day?

Question

My son is averaging 22-25oz of formula a day and he’s eating solids 2 times a day. We weaned him off night feedings so he’s eating 4 times a day between 4-6 oz plus a little bit more breast milk. 
I’m worried he’s not drinking enough milk, but he won’t take more even if I offer it. He’s drinking every 3 hours. 
If it’s easier to comment I’d also like to know if your baby has solids and how often. 
Thank you! 
I know I should consult my pediatrician as well I just want to get an idea.

Answer

Breastmilk and formula as baby ages are very different numbers. You mention both so it’s confusing. A breastfed baby will typically not get more than 4oz a feed vs a formula fed baby increases up to 7-8oz (I don’t know exactly bc I don’t formula feed I just know that’s why they make 8oz bottles bc breastfed babies never need the 8oz bottles).

Answer

Not sure on oz sizes but we are still feeding breast milk every 3 hours during the day starting at 5 am.  Our ped said to just give him one meal a day for a couple months but he really does like to try new foods when we eat. I feel like 90% of the food just ends up on the floor or fed to the dog lol
