How much / How often - 6.5-7 months?

[Vix79]

Hi Ladies,

I'm just in the process of weaning my lo onto bottles. She's just coming up for 7 months so she's on 3 meals a day and some days eats quite a bit but others not so much. I'm only giving her 2 bottle feeds at the moment (late morning and bedtime) but she seems to take a max of 4oz at each feed and I'm a bit concerned that this isn't enough really as the formula tub says at 6 months you should be looking around 5 feeds of 7oz. Obviously I can't tell what she's having for the 3 or 4 breastfeeds she has, but whenever I express I seem to get about 3/4oz so guess it's the same. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could share what your 6 monthers are doing on the milky front! Thanks.

Omar was taking 18 oz of formula with 2 meals. We started introducing a 3rd meal at 7 mnths, & his formula intake varies between 15-20 oz.

ETA: 18-21 oz of formula at 6+ mnths with 3 solids is enough to get the nutrients they need frm it. xx
