Formula babies

Anna

If you're doing solids, how many bottles is your baby taking?

We've just started 3 (blw) solids a day. She's still taking five 6 oz bottles a day. My mom thinks that's too much, because she starting to get a little round. She thinks she should have only 2-3. lol she's pretty petite. (Weight has never been an issue.)

You are not supposed to dwindle bottles. So if she’s still taking them still give them to her. Formula is supposed to be her main source of nutrition until 12 months. Now if she starts wanting less formula that’s okay. My daughter has gone from 24 oz to 20 oz a day this last couple weeks. 16 oz a day is what they say the minimum is that they s see should get

Exactly what I thought. She just compared it to when she had children 🙃

My son is only bottle fed at daycare, but if he took bottles 24/7 he would take at least 5 6 oz bottles if not more. Formula/breast milk is their primary source of nutrition until age 1 so I definitely wouldn’t be decreasing the amount unless baby decides she wants less.

4 bottles a day, 7-8oz each and two meals. I will drop down to 3 bottles at 11ish months, 2 at 12 months and be done by 13mo.

My daughter drinks about 28-30oz a day 😳, eats purees (4oz) or solids at least 3 times a day and has snacks in between, like rice risks or peanut butter puffs.

My daughter is BF at 4 and 7am. Eats solids at school around 8. Bottle (6oz) at 9:30. Solids at 12. Bottle at 12:45. Bottle at 3. Breastfed are 6ish (gets maybe 4oz). Bottle at bed around 8. So, that’s 5 5-6oz bottles and 1 large breastfeeding session.

My son has been a pig with formula since day one. He eats 6 bottles anywhere from 6-8 ounces at a time. Some days he eats almost 40 ounces and is also eating 2 meals a day blw. No night feedings. He’s only 50th percentile with weight but height 99th lmao! So far doctor isn’t concerned. Remember ur little one is also more active now so they burn more calories then before. I don’t think u need to worry at this point unless ur doctor has a concern. But what do I know Ftm lol.
