How many bottles at 8 months

[Aphrodite]

He seems to struggle through each feed and never finishes one. He has 4 bottles totalling around 15oz a day. Is this enough??

As long as he's feeding on solids well it should be fine. I think at that ages the amount of milk they need is about 500ml, but you could give a vitamin supplement if you were worried.

If I remember correctly, my pediatrician told me 1 oz for every pound of body weight. I could be wrong though so don't quote me.

PJ doesn't eat much either. He usually eats only 3 or 4 ozs at each feed. He has about 6 or 7 bottles a day. .
