About 20 oz of formula (usually 4 bottles with 6oz each, but he usually doesn't finish the whole thing and the 4th one is usually only about 3oz). These bottles have 2 tbps of oatmeal in them for reflux, but daycare keeps telliing me it's way too much oatmeal for a babyhis age, even though that's what the doctor said. He has 3/4 to 1 whole jar food in the morning and maybe a half jar for lunch.

Me too- plus I am at work and DH is home with her all day. I just stopped breastfeeding, and I never had any idea of how much she was getting anyway.
ETA: She gets 2 tbsp of cereal 2x a day and half a container of fruit or veg along with the cereal. I don't know if that's even enough but she's 23 lbs and 30 inches so I think all is well!

I just started cereal, and I am trying to figure out where to cut from her regular bottles. Dd was drinking about 33-35 ounces a day which I know is now too much.

Are you using the formula from the bottles in the cereal? I feed DD 6 ounces and take 2 to mix with her cereal.
Right now DD has cereal in the morning and a fruit or cereal or a veggie at night (about a half of a stage 1). No lunch yet. She has 5 bottles , each 6 ounces in a 24 hour period. She isn't a huge solid food eater yet.

20-24 oz of formula (4 6oz bottles) each bottle has 4 teaspoons of oatmeal in it. Half a jar of fruit or veggies in the morning, and the other half at night. I am about to add a 3rd serving of food
