Drinking too much?

Question

My daughter drinks about 35oz of formula a day and about 6-8oz of water as well. Is that much water fine if she still drinks her formula?
Update: I called our PED office and they suggested I try to get her below 30oz right now (pref below 26oz) since she eats well and drinks water, they suggested extending the time between bottles and increasing solids/purees. Thank you all for your help!

Answer

Does she eat food too? That seems like alot of formula for this age. My guys eat solids (really well) and have about 17 to 18 oz of formula a day. But best to ask her family doc/pediatrician what they think  because every baby is so different. :)

Answer

That seems like a lot but it could depend on what formula they are drinking and their table food consumption. We did a formula switch about a month ago and my daughter was easily drinking 32 oz a day plus three meals. We’ve since switched back to her old formula due to constipation issues and she’s getting between 20-24 ounces a day.

Answer

My daughter is almost 10 months and 4 8 ounce bottles. She eats three to four meals a day. 
Breakfast is yogurt and fruit 
Lunch  peanut butter sandwich 
Dinner is whatever we have ... pasta, meatballs mashed potatoes etc 
We have her 9 month wellness check up.... I guess we will see what doc says about ounces per day

Answer

The absolute, absolute max daily water should be the number of months of age in ounces. So 9-10 ounces for our babies. That's really the absolute max. So with that in mind, 6-8 does seem a little high, especially with that formula consumption. I'd talk to your ped if you can!

Answer

That seems like a lot but who am I to judge?? Haha. My daughter drinks 18 ounces of formula/breastmilk a day. And sips on water during meals. Gets maybe 3-4 ounces throughout the day.

Answer

I’m not sure! My daughter drinks 21 oz a day and usually drinks 4 oz or so of water a day

Answer

My son has just weaned himself to about 24oz a day of formula, and we do about 3-4oz if water with meals.
