My boy is 15 weeks Saturday. He has 6ozs every 4 hours.

My wee girl is 16 weeks and having 6oz every 3 hours , 7oz before bed

@Kirstie does he finish the bottle everytime?

@Brenna does she finish the bottle everytime?

All babies are different. My LO has 4 bottles a day and drinks between 5 and 8 Oz's per bottle xx

@Caitlin 90% of the time yes. X

Depends on his weight, they should have 4oz for every 1.5lb they weigh to be able to maintain and if they want to gain they should drink more, for example my little girl is 14lb so should be drinking around 37oz a 24hr period to maintain but they say anywhere between 5-10oz more to gain weight x

@Caitlin most of the times now since I moved up to size 3 teet. She was barley finishing with size 2 teet x

My little girl is on 6 oz every 4 hours but only 2 weeks ago she was on 3/4 oz every 4 hours she suddenly just changed and loved her milk, before this she was hit and miss if she even finished her bottles or wanted more xx

My baby is 4 and a half months and is on 8oz every 3-4 hours, she finishes the bottle every time

Depends on the baby. The average advised is around 150ml per kg of weight per day.

6 kg Baby and drinks 4-5 oz every 3 - 4 hours.

My little girl has 8oz but she only has 4/5 bottles a day! I think I’ve been so much more relaxed with her than when my son was born thinking about it over a 24 hour period that the HV advised rather than every 4 hours xx

My little boy is 15 weeks and is still only on 4oz, I wish I could get him to go up in oz but he just doesn’t drink it😩 I always worry it’s not enough for him as I see so many others say how much their baby is having but he seems happy and full and gaining weight. I just feed him as and when he needs it. Usually every 3 hours but sometimes he wants it after 2.5, I think he just likes to have smaller amounts more frequently x

my boy is 19 weeks on 8oz every 3-5 hours has been for about a month now has 3-4 bottles in 24 hours n sleeps 12-14 hours at night
