How much formula per day?

I am still nursing 3-4 times/day and do one bottle of formula at night before bed... 6 oz.  I have NO idea how much bm he is getting but I dont think its much... It seems as if he is weaning.  He eats a TON of baby food.  Not sure if he would be better having a couple bigger  bottles.. I am guessing he just gets an oz or so of bm each time he nurses... How much formula do you give/day?

DS is 9 months and he takes between 20 and 25 oz of formula per day. For solids he takes about 8 oz of puree between breakfast and dinner and probably a half a cup of finger foods spread between breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

DD is 11mo and seems to be less and less interested in her formula lately. A month ago she was getting about 24oz, but she keeps refusing it. We've tried several different things to get her to drink more, but she just refuses. So now we're down to 18oz/day. We only have 3wks until her 1st birthday, so I'm not sweating it too much. She seems satisfied and is growing appropriately, so I think she's fine.


We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint.

Our daughter is down to 3 bottles per day. 4 oz each. So 12 oz. She loves solids and has never been that interested in bottles, but recently it's gotten a lot lower. She's pretty much weaning herself. The doctor said to just make sure she has a varied diet and eats as much as she can.

Our bedtime bottle has 8oz of expressed BM and he drinks about 7 of that, sometimes the full 8. Thats his biggest bottle of the day. The other three are 4-5 oz.

My LO gets 4 bottles a day, 6 oz each but he's not wanting to finish them. He gets about 22-24oz of formula and a ton of food. 3 meals a day of whatever we are eating and 2 snacks.

Ditto PPs. DD2 is taking 3-4 6 oz bottles of formula a day. She doesn't always finish the bottle. Now, DD1 would take 7 (!) 7 oz bottles a day until about 8-9 months, but she was a super chunk and still eats like a lumberjack. Thank goodness she runs it all off!! It amazes me that most children do about the same thing at about the same time. Like horses when they are born and start running around almost immediately. Your LO is probably comfort nursing at this point, if you think they aren't getting much out of you.
