How many daily oz's at about 24 weeks?

For those who are bottle feeding I was wondering what the total daily oz's your LO's are having now and whether or not that is with weaning or without?

Emilie currently has 840mls so about 28oz and 2 meals a day at 24 weeks.

  • Sara gets through about 24ozs and three meals a day, I would say though she hasn't been finishing her bottles recently and so I think I'm going to drop a bottle and make the others a bit bigger IYKWIM, so she has more "meal times" rather than snacking. However with the hea she's been drinking loads of water and eating a bit less, so it's hard to gauge if it's just due to the weather

  • Poppy takes about 32oz a day, give or take, over 5 bottles. We haven't started weaning yet. She will be 25 weeks on tuesday-where has that gone?!?xx
  • Charlie takes 45oz a day at 21 weeks. Can't fit more than 9oz into the bottles we have! We are waiting til 26 weeks to wean.

  • I went to the hv clinic last week and the hv said that on 3 meals a day Cam only needed 20oz of milk a day! A fair lot less than his usual 42 + 3 boobs that he was on! I have read other places though (eg in anabel karmels book) that 24-28oz is recommended. I guess it depends on your lo! Cam put on 2lb 1oz in 4 weeks (!) so we are looking at reducing his milk intake but not to as little as 20. We tried that for a day and he was a miserable little mite! the last 3 days we've been on 28oz ish , that seems to work for him for the moment and he's 24+4 and on 3 big meals a day xxx
  • Emilia is on about 25 oz and three meals. Goodness knows where she puts it all as she is only about 14lb....she has gone from one extream to the other!

  • emmy-lee usually has between 16-24oz depending on her mood. today however she has only had 12.5oz! she does have three meals a day and a snack in the afternoon usually and i do the same as piggypops and offer as much dairy as i can.

    TBH i've always had problems getting alot of milk into emmy though as she has slept an 8 hour night from 4/5 weeks and a 12/13 hour night from 8/9 weeks so she's been on 4 bottles a day since she was really little.

    she has dropped a tiny bit on her growth centile in the past month but i'm not too concerned as i think it has more to do with the heat than anything else as she doesnt want milk when she's hot but will chug water and juice for england! lol
  • Flynn is on 3 meals per day and still takes most of the milk from his 5 bottles, which would work out at about 35oz if he left, say, 1oz from each bottle. He's a big boy though and a good eater, and weight/height perfectly in proportion so I'm happy with what he's having.
    He's 22 weeks!
