How much does your baby eat

Honestly I would just go with babys cues, they’ll tell you when they’re hungry and when they’re not hungry. My little boy is formula fed and has 5 bottles per day as he sleeps through the night and I offer him 8oz and he’ll take whatever he wants to take sometimes the full 8oz - maybe up his ounces intake?

My boy is almost 5 months too and started asking for more milk. We're combi feeding so I can't tell you exactly how much he eats but he went from 120ml of formula per feed to 150ml. On the formula tin it says he should have 210ml of water (so the formula would be about 240ml) 5 times a day for his age. Which comes to 1.2L so it's similar. I'd say don't worry he is eating well!

Babies are really good at regulating how much they need, so try not to worry too much about overfeeding. I felt the same, but my health visitor reassured me that it’s very unlikely to overfeed a baby — the main concern would be if they weren’t eating enough.

They can also vary day to day so yesterday she had around 1.1L, but the day before only about 840ml as she was a bit fussy (I think from teething) and didn’t want her bottles as much so made up for it.

I also worried she wasn’t gaining enough weight because she was 9/10 times under the recommended 150–200ml per kg, but she’s continued to gain weight on her trend in the red book.
Every baby is different, as long as he is gaining weight, having the right number of nappies, and seem generally content, you’re doing an amazing job mumma ❤️

I’ve got a tall hungry boy. He’s 4months and 8kg and has recently moved up to 7oz bottles - he averages around 35oz a day but on a really hungry day he’s done 40oz 🥲

My boy is 4 months and weighs 17lbs / 7.7kg, meaning his intake should be 1150 - 1540ml in 24 hrs, I was shocked by this as he doesn’t eat that much. He has 1080ml most days and some days he’ll only want 900mls… but he’s gaining weight well on the 75th Percentile, he also had fetal macrosomia. I think just feed responsively, if baby isn’t vomiting after feeds or a lot through the day then you’re probably not overfeeding!

My little girl normally eats around 35oz a day and has been since she was little - we currently have 6 bottles a day at around 6-7oz.
