How many oz formula

I know this question gets asks so many times but what is everyone’s 5 month old drinking in a 24 hour period. My little boy still wakes up once in the night around 5am then has another 4 bottles during the day but can be really hit or miss today he has only really been drinking 3/4oz on each bottle even though it’s 4 hours apart. I’ve looked and over a 24 hour period he has had 32oz so seems okay but interested to see what others are like?

My little boy usually has 4 bottles of 8oz each in 24 hours so 32oz. Sometimes he doesn't quite finish it and sometimes he has a bit extra, it really depends how long he sleeps in and how many naps he has

@Holly so he only has 4 bottles? Assuming he sleeps through the night too then? I’m just thinking if I’m over thinking / worrying when there is no need lol

5 bottles in total 1 during the night 7oz each time

Generally yep! Yes he does usually sleep through, although atm that's meaning until 5 (hoping it's a phase 🤣) I do offer him the boob when he first wakes though - we have been combi feeding but that's the only BF I still do. So he probably doesn't get much but it tides him over till I'm ready to get up!

@Holly the whole feeding thing is so stressful isn’t it though lol! I never had this problem with my first he used to eat and eat no issues! This one just grazes and sometimes not even bothered!

5 bottles a day, first one 7oz but rest are 6oz and sleeps through x

My little one has 3-4 oz every 3 hours including the night x

5 bottles between 4-6oz a bottle so around 25oz in 24hours. She sleeps 7pm-6am with no interruptions. Health visitor said by the maths they do, she should be on around 30oz but actually she’s putting weight on perfectly now so it’s not a problem. She’s 21 weeks and 13.7lbs

My boy has 4 7oz bottles... 4am,9am,2pm and 6pm. Has baby porridge with an oz of milk in morning and then he has a "meal" at 4ish

The health visitor told me between 25-30oz in 24 hour period is what they should be having at this age but based on weight it’s generally 120ml to every kg they weigh x
