how many ounces of formula for a 14lb baby?

I am doing only formula now stopped pumping this week. how many ounces should she have?

Right now she has a 6oz bottlle when she gets up and when she goes to bed. its 6 b/c she sleeps all night so she is going 12 hours without eating.

The she has about 4, 4 oz bottles throughtout the day so its aoout 28oz total is that ok? too much? too little?

That sounds fine to me. Every child is different. Nicholas is 18 pounds and 6 months old and he eats 6 ounces throughout the day. But if he is hungry, you know and I give him alittle more.

I have friends whose children eat 8 ounces all day and they are the same age.

As long as they are gaining weight, I am sure she is fine.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

It's so confusing, isn't it? 28 oz. seems fine! All babies are different and if she's taking 28 oz. with no problem then she wants it! Good luck!

Mine takes in a total of 20 ounces throughout the day. It used to be more but ever since he started solids it has decreased. But the doctor said 20 ounces is ok, as long as he is eating solids throughout the day. He is 6 months old and weighs about 14lbs. Every baby is different.
