My baby is 6 months and has between 18-25 floz per day, it varies. If she doesn't finish a full 7 oz bottle in the morning when she wakes, I make sure she has some in her cereal for breakfast. As far as I am aware as long as they are having at least 18-20ish fl oz per day this is fine. I am not sure why someone has put that a 6 month old should be nearly off formula by now, that isn't true, it is still essential to their diet at this stage of development. If your baby isnt taking as much milk as before, try giving them some before any solid food, and after is necessary too. hope this helps.

1.There are always a guide at the formula milk tin. Different formula milk diff serving suggestion. But all these are all suggestions Because.....
2. IT all depends on the size & weight of the Baby. of coz smaller size drink lesser & bigger size drink more.
some babies drink around 6oz depends on the length of hour you give. If U are feeding some instant brown rice or water in between, maybe they will drink lesser. then if after they drink the milk, they poo poo, then will maybe shorten the length of time for the next feed, & maybe they drink more.
so Really must have a Chart to take down what time they drink milk, how many oz, then when serve water then how many oz too? a note book or a chart on the wall might be a better idea.

Is this your first kid?
If it is; how much milk do you drink a day? At 6 months your baby should damn near be off formula anyways.
But if you want to keep it on formula; what I did with my kids is break them into regular milk by just giving them 1% milk and I did that when they were about 5 months old.
Milk for breakfast; real fruit juice for lunch; milk at dinner time. And in between, they had alot of water. All kids need that to keep their system cleaned out.

well as long as they are drinking from 25-35 ounces a day u should be good
you can add in cereal i nthe mornings if you want but you don't have too. If you want 1tbs for 3 days 2tbs for 3 days and then feed the amount they want from there. My daughterdrank 6 ounces every 3 hours at 6 months
good luck

Some people use the diluted-milk-formula(one:one) for children who are aged about six months or so.But this is not advisable.This may lead to protein-calorie malnutrtion like marasmus. Hence at least three parts of milk should be used with one part of milk for easy digestion and nutrition.Some people go for demand feeding (i.e.feeding milk whenever the child starts crying.)and that is also bad.Milk-feeding of about 120 ml to 150 ml at a time (in the ratio of three parts of milk and one part of water)can be given at intervals of 3-4 hours along with mashed potatoes, carrot,rice with dhal, powdered biscuits and Farex etc.

about 24-32 ounces a day (or about 750ml - 1litre).
Thats about 5 bottles a day. A baby this age can also be trained to not have a bottle at night anymore. Just offer some water and pat back off to sleep.

6-8 ozs per feeding or until full. Cereal is also a good idea during the day as well as choice baby food.
