Every baby is different. So there maybe babies that drink 6 ozs of formula at a time, and then there maybe a baby that will drink a 8 oz bottle. But when my son was 5 months old he was drinking about 6 ozs about every 2 to 21/2 hours. But just remember your baby may require more than what my baby requires. My doctor told me that as long as he was getting at least 25 ozs a day then he would be fine and get what he needs. Hope that this helps.

When my daughter was 5 months old, she was drinking about 6 ounces at a tine sometimes a bit less. Iwas feeding her rice cereal and sweetpotatoes as well though, most doctors say to wait until the baby is 6 months old before you give them food, but i think some babies need the bit of food to feel full and satisfied. So I would say a 5 month old should drink about 4-6 ounces every 2-3 hours, but i think it is best to just feed the baby whenever it is hungry, i don't believe in schedules, and if the baby is gaining weight, she is getting enough formula.

Just took my son to the doc last Friday and asked the same question. I told him that my son would take in anywhere from 35 to 45 oz. a day and he said that's good. He weighs 16.5 lbs. and almost 5 months old.

At 3 months, 3-4oz. in case you discover that your infant continues to be hungry after 4oz, attempt yet another a million/2oz. and don't experience undesirable approximately not breastfeeding. If those Nazis basically knew what it became elect to might desire to not breastfeed, their comments might count selection greater. Xo

well they usually drink about 4-6 at a hospital so they should drink a little more but not TOO much

3 oz of formula for every pound they weigh. ( i.e. 10lb=30 oz.)
