How much does your 5 month old eat?

DD isn't on solids yet so we're still just giving her formula. She usually has 4 bottles a day but I'm not sure how much she should be taking.
Thanks!

Molly will be 5 months next week and she is on solids twice a day, but she drinks 4 bottles a day, anywhere from 6-8 oz each. I have a chart that Similac sent and they say the average for a 4-7 month old is 4-5 bottles a day, 7-8 oz each for a total between 28-40oz a day.

That's really good to know. She usually drinks between 6-7 ounces at each bottle, having 4 a day. And I thought that might be too much.

Thanks!

Anyone else?

Nikolas has always been a big formula eater.. usually averaging around 5 bottles a day anywhere from 6-8 oz each..

Now that we've introduced cereal and fruits/veggies, he is not that into his bottles anymore and Im struggling to find his 'schedule' again since he seems to want to skip a bottle in favor of more food . which isn't going to happen Chat Icon

He was 5 months old on 3/11 and he is now eating 2 meals a day, and lately around 4 bottles a day averaging anywhere from 4-8 ounces (it really depends.. usually his first morning bottle and last bottle of the night are his 'big' bottles..)

He is having 2 tablespoons of cereal and a fruit or veggie mid morning, and cereal and a fruit or veggie in the evening before his last bottle of the night..
