And how often? Are they on stage 1 or hungry baby milk? or any solids?

Sorry if the thread seems aimed at formula feeders, not intended. But I know it is hard to know how many oz a breastfed baby is taking :)
 
35oz 5 feeds a day at 7oz plus he's started having breakfast a bit of puree
 
bella has 5 feeds a day of 5-6oz (she never goes over 28oz total in a day!) of stage 1 milk. she's not on solids yet (she's just over 5 1/2 months).

Mine has about 30 oz of formula per day and has two feedings of cereal as well.
 
My baby has only just gone on formula. He is having around 50oz which is why I asked as I thought it was a bit much!! I have started him on Stage 2 hungry baby milk today.. and tried him on a little baby rice for tea.
He never goes longer than 3 hours.. and at night feeds every 30 mins and only takes 2 hours.. and repeats all night.

So how long do your babies go between feeds? And do they go longer or shorter in the night?
 
Lucy has 8oz 4 times a day, so 32oz in total, roughly every 3-4 hours during the day, she has her last bottle at 7pm ish and wakes up at 8am for her first morning bottle. Lucy is on Enfamil AR which is a medicated formula that thickens in her tummy to help her reflux. We have been giving her some baby porridge or rice for the past 2 weeks an hour after her afternoon feed and we will be giving her some home made purées this coming week (an hour after her afternoon feed) this is in addition to her milk and doesn't replace it.
 
LO eats about every 3 hours but sleeps about 12 hours at night(lucky me I know)

I forgot to mention he's on hungry milk
 
Aliyah has 5-6 oz per day.She takes around 25 oz x
 
24-28 oz is the min at 5 months. At 6+ the min is 18-21 oz with 3 solids & at 9 months the max is around 20 oz
 
Ive started weaning now so we are reducing her 6 (7oz) feeds a day down to 4.
Fruit Puree in the morning (replacing her mid morning feed) and shes taking 1/2 jar of food replacing the early evening feed now. Obv fluid intake is still a must so giving her water with her meals :)
 
At 5 months, Jess was having 28oz per day of comfort milk on average (4 x 7oz bottles) Shes still having the same same now...we started weaning at 4 months too so she was also having 2 meals a day :flower:
