At 8 months old how many ounces of formula should DS consume in one day?

DS was averaging about 22-26 oz per day. He has slowed down SOOOO much. Yesterday he only had 12 for the entire day. I thought he would be starving this morning but only drank 3 oz. Should I be concerned? He is a chubster so I'm pretty sure he is fine in the weight department. TIA!

I swear I think Chels and DS are twins...She's been doing the same, she's been gradually going down and down, some days she'll have a good 24oz and some days she'll have 12-16 and not hungry, I think it's depending on what she eats during the day. She's totally into self feeding now, and esp this weekend we were out all weekend, and ate whenever we ate and what we ate so didnt have as much formula!

i just had this convo with my dr this past week...he said most babies slow down at this age...and shes drinking between 15-17oz a day if im lucky, he said thats just fine, she gained 1 lb 6 oz this month...so she doesnt seem to be missing anything..shes eating regular food alot more, so theyre not concerned.

Thanks!!! I'm just concerned because he is eating a lot of jarred food and he is obsessed with yogurt but he is still not picking up food to eat it himself. He will try to pick things up but it doesn't make it into his mouth so he gets frustrated and gives up. He also gags a lot of food.
