How many bottles a day?

[R J 1980]

My seven week old is only drinking 5 bottles a day... they are 5 oz so she's getting 25oz a day which I think is a good amount... but I was wondering how many bottles/ounces other babies take around this age?

Gianna takes her last bottle around 8 or 9 and then sleeps from about 11pm-5:30am. Then she goes about 4 hours in between bottles.

My little dude is 7 wks tomorrow and usually takes 6ozs, 6 times a day! So 36ozs a day, which now I've typed it sounds alot! He was 7lb 1oz at birth and was weighed last week at 11lb 5ozs!

My LO is 7 weeks and he also have 5 bottles but he has 4 7oz and 1 5oz which is 33oz a day. He also goes 4 hours during the day and sleeps from 11 - 6.30ish and has 5oz then.
He was 8lb 6oz born

My daughter is 6mos. She takes 4-6oz 5 times a day (about 25oz per day). She also has 3 meals a day - about 16oz of cereal/fruit/veggie.

wake up breastfeed: (4-6oz?)
breakfast: cereal/fruit w/ 4oz bottle
2hr nap
lunch: vegetable/fruit w/ 4oz bottle
snack: 2oz bottle (only when she gets fussy)
1-2hr nap
dinner: vegetable/fruit w/ 4oz bottle
bed time breastfeed: 4oz (?)
10-11hr overnight sleep

At her last check she was 9.2, I'm guessing she's at least ten pounds now. She was born 6 lbs 14 oz.

Sounds great Hun. Omar's max was 24 oz at 4 months. At 7 weeks he couldn't go for more that 18 oz. He was a big baby but not a big drinker

My LO turned 7 weeks old last Sunday. She takes 6oz at a time, usually 5-6 bottles a day, so 30-36oz in a 24-hour period.

As a general guideline on our Milupa Milumil formula box, babies between the ages of 5 and 8 weeks should be drinking 5 6oz bottles each day, so my LO is right on target usually, but occasionally has an extra bottle if she spits up a lot (poor thing has got reflux).
