bottle feeding a 6 month old?

Question

my baby drinks 6 oz every 3 -4 hours he is 6 months old and has 2 small feeds a day breakfast and dinner is that ok, he also waste's some each bottle... and this week he went through a whole tin of formula..

Answer 1

Sounds normal to me. As long as he's happy and seems full after each feeding he is getting enough.

Answer 2

I've read even a 10 month old baby still needs 32 oz. a day plus a few feedings of fruits and veggies. Don't expect to get off the expensive formula so quick! They need it until they're a year old.

Answer 3

Sounds just like my son. He is eight months and only takes 7 oz every 3-4 hrs. Your baby sounds perfect!

Answer 4

totally normal!! Just remember to always go with your instinct. Your mother's feeling is never wrong. Plus, the baby will let you know if he/she is hungry. But I think the baby is doing fine. My daughter was stuck on 6oz forever. Actually I don't think she ever made it to a full bottle.

Answer 5

That relies upon on your toddler. My answer is, as plenty or as low as they decide on. Mine have been taking 40 ounces.an afternoon at that age, it somewhat is plenty, in spite of the indisputable fact that it somewhat is how plenty they wished. some days they did no longer take that plenty, yet many of the time they finished their bottles and have been chuffed with 5 8 ounces.bottles an afternoon.

Answer 6

Yes it is ok. He is still a baby and needs to suck. Start mixing less formula so there isn't so much waste.

Answer 7

As he starts eating more solids he will start drinking less formula. If you are concerned call your pediatrician.
