How much does your 5 month old drink?

Question

My baby just turned five months and Is drinking five ounces every two hours. I’m exhausted from cluster feeding but am afraid six ounces might make his acid reflux worst. How much is the norm for a five month old and how often (formula fed)?

Answer

Make sure you are pace feeding with a slow flow nipple.

Answer

My 3 month old has 5oz every 3/4 hours. He has it in him to do 5 hours at night. 
Is this just a growth spurt or all the time? Maybe go up to 6 oz…

Answer

That sounds normal. You're doing awesome. Hard, I know. But it will pass. Sometimes, babies may even eat less. Just go with it.

Answer

Babies should be drinking 1-1.5 ounce per hour they’ve gone between feeds. If he hasn’t eaten in two hours, he should be getting 2-3 ounces tops. Anything more than that is over feeding. If you’re bottle feeding, make sure you’re pace feeding with a slow flow nipple.
