My little girl takes about 25 oz of formula a day plus about 3 tablespoons of rice cereal...she's just barely 4 months old. Is this about right??

There is no real right or wrong as long as the baby is getting enough nourishment. A doctor once told me, "Don't worry. They don't starve quietly." If she is more hungry than this, she will let you know with great volume! Sounds like you are doing great.

If it fills her up, yes it is. There's no right amount of formula to feed a baby through the day. And you actually measure the cereal? I just dump mine in.

that sounds about right if your still doing the basic four oz every four hour feeding. but your baby is growing and needs a little more. If she looks hungry and sucks on the empty bottle give her more it wont do any harm.

I would say so, I know what you mean about worrying if she is getting enough to drink & eat. I would just keep track like you are doing. You are a good mom!

She would not take it if she was not hungry, kids develop at there own pace, ask your DR. and just watch her weight.
I am sure she will be fine.

If she seems to be full and content, then it's perfect. All children eat at different rates.

As long as she is content and seems to be full then I would say then that is enough....also as long as she is gaining weight too
