Hi moms. I have a question about what your feeding schedule is like. How much formula a feeding, how often, how many solids a day , how much ? I m weaning LO to formula and at his 6 month check up he lost weight from his appointment 3 weeks before. He was gaining weight very well so I wonder if he is not getting enough
5 or 6oz bottles every 3-4 1/2 hours during the day. Before bed I give him a 7oz bottle and he has one MOTN feeding of 5oz. A total of 32ish oz a day. A good estimate is 2.5oz/lb. Although I have a little "chubby chunks" so I don't follow that guide line anymore.

I give her a 6oz bottle every 2-3 hours during the day. She eats probably 32-38 oz per day. She eats about 4-6 oz of solid food during the day. She eats nothing at night. We're not not really on a strict schedule but a typical day might look like this 7 - Bottle 9 - bottle 11 - Solids 12-Bottle 3 - Bottle (Maybe solids between 12 and 4 depending on our plans for the day) 4 - Solids 5 - Bottle 7:30 Bottle (doesn't always finish it, but I like to give her something before bed)
I EP but I think my BM doesn't have as many calories as other moms bc he isn't having it with the tiny bottles. When I try to stop at 4oz he gets mad and cries. Hey, he likes his milk.
~6 to 7am: 7-8oz...goodmorning, i'm hungry bottle. ~10 am: ~5-6oz (plus solids)...after first nap ~2pm: ~5-6oz ...after 2nd nap ~5pm: ~5-6...after little 3rd nap ~7pm: ~5-6oz and solids. Baby is in bed...party time.
Total is ~32 oz a day give or take. I have no idea what my DH does with him bc he never writes it down AND never remembers. Drives me nuts.

That's what my LO will eat in a day if I pump instead of BF. 3 small solid meals (~8oz a day)
Some babies just eat a lot. (my LO is a big 'un too)
~4-7 am: BF
~8 am: BF ~9:30 am: solids, usually cereal mixed with new food of the week ~ 11 am: BF ~ Noon: solids, usually veggie ~2pm: BF ~3:30 pm: solids, usually veggie ~5pm: BF ~7-8 pm: ~BF
We're pretty stable on a 7/10/1/4/7 schedule....it varies day to day, but usually every 2.5 to 3.5 hours depending on naps. So almost always 5 bottles per day. Mostlyl 6 oz (or 6.6 by the time you add formula+water) and then a 8 (or 8.8) at bed time. Nothing from 7 pm to 7 AM.
7am - 7oz bottle 8:30am - solids (usually eats a 4oz jar) 12pm - 7oz bottle 12-1pm - he has Mum Mums or Puffs while DS1 and I eat lunch 4pm - 7oz bottle 6pm - solids (usually eats a 4oz jar) 7:15 - 6-7 oz bottle
