For those of you who formula feed...

How old is your LO, how much do they eat and how often?
And do you stick to a schedule (ie: 3 hours between feedings) or feed when baby acts hungry?
TIA!

My daughter is 8 months. she eats every 3 hours during the day. she eats anywhere from 5-10 oz every time.usually 6 or 7 oz on average.

It doesn't matter if your LO is formula fed or not. If they are hungry feed them.
My LO is formula fed(not by choice. I have an apt tomorrow for lactation meds) but he is currently 3 months and he eats anywhere between 60-240ml in a sitting. He eats about every 2-4 hours. Every 6hrs at night.

My DD is 7.5 months (8mos on Dec 3rd) and she eats about 28oz of formula a day... 4 7oz bottles approx every4-5 hours apart..... and in addition she has a fruit and veggie and some cereal.
This is her daily schedule:
7:30am-7oz bottle
back to sleep until about 9am
9:30am-Fruit with some cereal
12pm: 7oz bottle
12:15-2 nap
4pm: 7oz bottle
4:15-5:30 nap
6:30pm: Veggie and cereal
9pm: 7oz bottle
9:15: Bedtime and she sleep through the night
She also has some puffs here and there for snacks, but more to develop her hand eye coordination.

My daughter is almost 6 months (at the end of this month) and she drinks a 4oz bottle every 3 hours. Sometimes she will finish her 4oz bottle and want another ounce so I give it to her. If she's not acting hungry yet when it's "time" for her to eat, I don't force it on her. She usually always acts hungry around the 3 hour mark anyway.

10 months next week.
And she drinks 5 10 oz bottles a day plus she eats 3 meals of table foods a day plus 3 snacks or more some days. lol

And gets 2 cups of whole milk as well a day.

She is pretty much always been on a schedual for everything, her sleep times to her bath to her naps to her eating, but she also feeds on demand if she seems hungry. lol

Yes I know, her meals are 2oz containers of homemade foods like chicken and rice beef stews mixed veggies etc...lol she loves her food. lol a lot.

But tell why she only weighs 16lbs at 10 months, I have no clue. lol

My pedi told me last week I can take away most of her formula down to 24oz a day and let her have more of the whole milk, since she eats a ton of iron enriched foods everyday. lol She loves her whole milk too. lol

My son is 18 pounds at 4 months old and 27 inches long. Big guy. And my family keeps trying to convince me I'm overfeeding him. But I keep trying to explain... I'm NOT going to deny him if he's hungry.
Stupid family. Lol.
