Re: weight and ounces per day for 5 month old

Kerri started cereal at 4 months and veggies with her cereal at 5 months. We go to the doctor next week but 3 weeks ago she was 14 lbs 8 oz.


Her formula intake has decreased since starting olids to about 24oz a day.

Re: weight and ounces per day for 5 month old

Lauren is almost 6 months old. She is taking about 25 ounces of formula a day, and that doesn't count what I use to make her cereal. she started cereal at 5 month and we started veggies and fruits then also. she has cereal with a fruit in the morning and cereal with a veggie at night. At 5 months, she was 17 lbs

Anthony is 5 months old today. At his 4 month appt he was 14lbs 5oz. Right now, he's getting about 30 oz of formula (2 of those bottles have 3 tbs of cereal in them). He also gets a fruit in the morning and a vegetable in the afternoon. He's definitely put on weight this past month, but I won't be sure how much until his next appt, Dec 1.

Re: weight and ounces per day for 5 month old

DS has been taking 24 ounces a day for months. Sometimes it's 25,26,28 or 30 but mostly it's 24. Now with solids I don't think he'll increase. So he probably be staying at his 24 ounces a day. At his 4 month checkup he was only 12lbs 9 oz. He goes back on the 18th.

Re: weight and ounces per day for 5 month old

Well, Ava will be 5 months next week, but I'll chime in...

She started cereal at 3 months to help with her reflux, so she gets that two times a day, usually a total of 4tbsp. She also eats half a thing of sweet potatoes in the morning and half at night. She has 4 7oz. bottles a day, so roughly 28oz per day, but she hardly ever finishes her bottles, so probably more like 24oz. a day.
She was 14.3lbs. a couple of weeks ago when we were at the doctor. I'd venture to say she's almost 15lbs now. We go back to the doc in two weeks. So we shall see. I'm glad to hear other babies are taking around 24oz. a day because I was freaking that she hasn't been drinking as much. But she's no worse for the wear.

Re: weight and ounces per day for 5 month old

DS will be 5 months on the 8th... He has a 7 oz bottle and 4 tbsp of cereal for breakfast (around 8am) and 8 oz bottle at 12 and 4 and 7 oz bottle and 4 tbsp of cereal at 8pm... His doctor's appointment is next Thursday so I'm guestimating he weighs about 18 - 19 pounds... His last appointment at 3 mos he was 14
