How many ozs for your 4-5 month old & how many bottles?

you did help me quite a lot with weaning (and getting Hannah to ultimately sleep through the night thank God! :lol:) :hugs:
 
i'm a little concerned now as my LO is only having 3 8oz bottles most days as she wont take anymore. but all the other babies on her are having between 4 and 5 bottles

the other day she had her first bottle and cereal at 9 am then did't have another bottle till 6pm!!! i kept tryin her through out the day and she just kept spitting the milk back out pushing it away.

i had her weighed the other day and she is still gaining a lbh every 2 weeks she is currently 17lb 6oz which is a good weight and the HV told me not to worry.
 
At 4 months.. 6 x 4oz bottles

At 5 months:
7:30am- 2oz bottle (then back to sleep)
10am- 2oz bottle
1pm- 4oz bottle, small "meal" of fruit or veg, mixed with a spot of formula, then another 1-2oz of formula after.
3pm - 4oz bottle
6pm - 4oz bottle
8pm - 4oz bottle, cereal mixed with 1oz formula, then sometimes another oz of formula
just before bed - 3-4oz formula.

So she takes 7 bottles per day still (her 7:30am snack is a new thing, she used to take the whole thing when she woke for the day), but up to 28oz of formula total. She doesn't always finish her bottles even :dohh:
 
1 x 8oz morning bottle 4 x 7oz bottles but doesnt always finish these.

Wakeup Feed 8am-9am
Sleep 45mins
Feed 11am-12pm
Sleep 1-2 hours
Feed 2pm-3pm
Sleep 1 hour
Feed 5pm-6pm
Feed 7.30pm - this feed varies alot on how many OZ she takes.

Asleep by 8.30 not usually any later and sleeps through to 8am-9am x

Never wake her from naps she wakes herself, sometimes she wakes at 6.30 in morn but will happily lie on our bed until 7.30.

Layla is almost 4 months old and she is having almost 8oz (220mls) every 3 hours... untill 9pm then she sleeps through till 7am :)
 
Oliver was 19 weeks and weighed 14lbs 8oz on Tuesday. I've only been formula feeding for 2 weeks so HV said he is taking less at the moment whilst he adjusts to formula feeding. Oliver has between 4 and 5 bottles a day; it varies. He's been taking on average 21-22 oz a day in total.

Todays feeding

5:30am 4oz
9:30am 5oz
1:30pm 4oz
5:15pm 5oz
7:30pm 4oz

22 oz today! I was worried as I thought he should be having a lot more but he has put on 12oz in 2 weeks so it must be enough, its just so strange going so long between feeds when FF it was much more frequent when BF.
 
Toby is nearly 17-weeks and weighs 14lbs 4ozs.

He used to have 5/6 bottles per day of around 30zs in total but for the last 2weeks has been waking in the night at least twice and was taking up to 37ozs in a day!

He tends to go 3hrs during the day, always has done, and he has a 45min to 1hr nap in the middle hour of that 3hrs. But if we go out and he's not able to nap in his cot, he naps much less.

He takes a min of 4ozs but has only once ever taken 8ozs, its always more like 6ozs for every bottle.

He may be getting ready for solids or teething?

Caine has a BF at 4am, BF at 7am and 8am. Bottle of 6oz and porridge at 12 ish. BF at 3 ish, Bottle of 6 oz and some veg or fruit (quite a bit) at 6 ish, BF at 8. Last bottle about 7 or 8 oz at 9.15 xxx
