How much is your LO eating?

Question

Hi everyone! My LO is 21 weeks and has started solids (cereal twice a day) Since then he has began to drink less milk (formula) so I’m wondering how much should he be drinking a day? THANK YOU!

Answer

Milk intake shouldnt be decreasing. It needs to stay the same. If it does decrease solids need to be stopped until the milk intake is back to where it was before solids were introduced

Answer

My daughter eats 27.5 ounces every day (5.5 ounces 5 times a day). My son never went above 25 in a day though, every baby is different! I would say as long as baby is getting an age appropriate amount & is content and not hungry you should be good!

Answer

All babies are different and eat different amounts so it would not be a good comparison to see what other babies are doing. There are too many factors. It would be best to ask your pedi what he/she wants to see as an ideal maximum then adjust solid intake accordingly. 
My LO started oatmeal last week for reflux so she gets it 5x a day (it’s in her bottle). She dropped about 2oz going from 28 to 26 but it fluctuates. Some days she goes 27, others 28 still.
