4 months - how much milk?

[babynewbie]

archies kinda got himself into his own routine now, he wakes at 8am and has 7oz, then has 7oz every 4 hours until 8pm when he sleeps again until 8am!!
this means he only has 4 7oz bottles a day is this enough? it doesnt seem like enough to me??

Omar takes exactly the same. So I guess it's ok. He also sleeps through for 12 hrs. I recently increased 1 oz for his bedtime feed. So he takes between 28-30 oz in 24 hrs. xx

it all goes on weight i think, they should be having 2.5 times their weight n ounces or something similar

I dont really think this works. Omar is 17 lbs. If I follow this guidleline he should take 41 oz, which is not possible

My LO normally has 4 8oz bottles, and sometimes another 4 to go to sleep on.

Is he putting on weight okay? I'd say that amounts fine tbh.

If it went on weight my LO would be drinking 45oz's a day

Id also say the amount is fine

Emilie drinks 5 7oz bottles a day

Ruby takes between 28 and 30 oz a day too so it sounds good to me

my little one is 10lb 5 now, he was 4lb 14 when he was born and has 5 x 5oz bottles a day and sleeps through so i would say its fine, they would let you know if they were still hungry

Believe me it is possible when you have a hungry baby!!, Myles is 12lb7, nearly 7 weeks and is eating that much!!
