How much milk is your 4.5 month old drinking?

Hey! My baby is in 50th percentile and has always been the same. She is 4.5 month old. She is following the curve but to me she feels very skinny. She is 6.8 kg at 4.5 months. She hardly takes 26-28 ounce in 24 hours. How much is your baby that are almost the same age having? I am kinda worrried at this point. (I am not talking about babies that are higher in weight percentile)

I wouldn’t worry if your baby’s doctor isn’t worried. And 50th percentile is right in the middle weight. As far as how much I feed my baby, I can’t help with that, I nurse so I’m not really sure. Just don’t want you to worry.

My LO is 4 months on the 25th, he takes 6oz every 4 hours in the day , I give him 7oz at night and in the morning, so has around 5 bottles a day but sometimes he only takes 4 bottles/depending when he falls asleep and gets up

My baby just turned 4months and he’s Ion the 50th percentile too. He’s drinking 7oz 4 times a day every 4 hours and pretty much sleep all night from 9pm to 8am

My baby is 9th percentile. She's just a tiny (I'm petite also) baby but following her curve. 12.5lbs BF babies drink less. Formula drink more. It sounds like your baby is getting enough for your baby. No need to worry. Not all babies are chunky.

My LO is 4 months on the 50th percentile and she has 6oz every 3 hours. Last bottle at 19:00. Totals 6 bottles. Wakes at 2/3am for 6oz and has a 5oz bottle at 7:30am when she wakes.

My baby is not taking more than 130-140 ml per bottle, so i have to give her frequently to atleast try to give her 6 bottles through the day. But if she is taking 130-140 ml, should i be giving more than 6 bottles? The fact is she does not eat much when she is awake and during daytime, so currently the last feed i pick her up sleeping and give the bottle and she goes back to sleep.
