How much to feed?

I have twin girls about 6 months. I feed Sydney 16 oz of formula a day broken up in 4 bottles with 4 oz in each bottle. I feed 2tbl rice with 1/2 jar of fruit and 1/2 fruit 1/2 veg for lunch and then 2tbl rice and 1/2 fruit for dinner. Break, lunch and din followed by a bottle. Does this seem like enough food..Syd is 14lbs and Reese who i feed less she only gets 1/2 fruit break. lunch and dinner followed by a 5oz bottle. Reese is 11 1/2 lb. I never know when to up the food. What are you feeding your 6 month old. Sorry for the long post.

At 6 months we were doing full 6 oz bottles and were at about 2 meals a day, sometimes 3 of 3 tbsp cereal with 1 Stage 1 jar of fruit or veggie.

5 bottles. I would go for 30 oz a day, and she didn't always finish all bottles. It was more like 24 oz a day once she finished them all and sometimes it did dip down to like 19 or 18 oz but I always offered her the full 6 oz bottles 5 x a day.

Has your dr given you an idea about how much they should be eating?
