How much formula?
How much formula does/did your 12 week old eat?
Mine's eating 4 oz. at a time, 6 bottles a day, for a total of 24oz a day (really 22oz bc she only eats 2oz every morning for some reason).
SOmetimes I think she'd take more than 4oz during the day, but she doesn't cry when she's done so I haven't increased. Should I?
I feel like 22oz might not be enough. Is it?

How much formula?
DD is 3.5 months and just under 11 pounds. She drinks between 18-22oz a day. My dr's rule of thumb is 2-2.5oz of formula per pound per day. My DD is on the low end but her Dr is okay with that for now.

I was going to say the same thing. Aprox 2.5 oz per lb, so aprox 28oz. Again this is all approximate

My Dr always said if the baby is sucking bottle dry then increase it. They should be leaving alittlle at bottom.

DS is 10 weeks and drinks 4-5.5oz bottles and 1-6oz bottle before bed, so he's getting 28oz per day. He was weighed yesterday and is 12lbs 7.7oz.
