How much formula

Hi Ladies,

 I know, I know there have been oh so many posts about this over the past many months.  It is now my turn.  Up until recently my dd has been steadily drinking 5 x 6oz bottles a day (30oz), with 3 solid meal (mostly fruit, veg, and some oatmeal).  She's now dropped to only wanting about 3.5 x 6 oz bottles a day (21oz).  The changes for her have been that about 2 weeks ago I started adding more meat and she's got an ear infection and is on antibiotics.  My question is is 21 oz of ff plus 3 solid meals enough in a day?  I'm just so used to 30oz a day with her that this seems foreign to me.  I mentioned it to the dr this morning (check up for her ears) and he didn't seem overly concerned.

My LO takes 20oz of formula and 3 solid meals as well and Dr said it was fine:) I would imagine its ok as long as you dont notice your LO losing weight.

My pedi told us at least 20 ounces a day, so you should be ok :)

Exactly this. I've noticed DS is not as interested in his bedtime bottle as well - he's down to about 2-3 oz, and he used to suck down 6-8 oz.
