How often?

How old are they?

 

What kind are they taking?

Mine were on Neosure.

How many oz?

At 2 months they were only taking about 3-4 ounces every 3 hours


*Since mine are much older now, I based it on when they were about 2 months old.

 

My girls are almost 11 months, Similac Advance, 3 bottles, 8 oz. per day (24 oz. total).

At 3 months (I noticed your babies are) my girls were eating every 3.5 - 4 hours (even through the night), 4 oz. at a time.

 

My twins are 1 month old. They take Enfamil - 4 oz every 3 hours including through the night.

 

mine are 8.5 weeks they currently take 6 oz every 3hours, but sleep longer at night. They are averaging just about 42oz a day

As for fomula.. we started out with TONS of similac Advance samples, but once I had to buy it we use kirkland signiture (costco brand) it has all the same vitamins... I think its made by similac anyways. & its only .38 a dry oz vs similac with checks for .63 (I think)

 

My babies were on soy formula. The most they ever drank at one time was about 7 oz. They ate every 3 hours until 8 months old, and then went to a 4 hour schedule. We were off formula at 9 months.

 

My girls started on Similac RTF, we tried Good Start :bad: , used the Enfamil freebies, then went back to Similac RTF. I switched them to the BJ's brand powder stuff around 6-7 months (now that I have more time to actually make formula), and all is well.

Around 2-3 months I think they were at 4 oz. every 3-4 hours. Probaly closer to 3 hours. Through the night!

They are now drinking 6oz. every 4 hours with their meals and 8-9 oz at bedtime.

They are 10 months on August 2.

I am starting to give them an oz of milk in a sippy here and there to get them used to it. Jordan loves it. Mackenzie makes a horrible face and spits it out as if it's poison. I guess I will have to add it to her formula, gradually increasing the milk and decreasing the formula!

 

My girls have been on Similac Advance since I stopped breastfeeding at 9 weeks. We use the ready to feed in the large bottles. They took between 2 and 4 ounces at the beginning. We went to bigger bottles aroung 10 weeks I think, when Cate started taking 6 oz. Now they take 7 oz, and I don't think they will ever take 8oz.

Similac Advance

5 6-7 oz bottles per day

16 weeks

 

One is on Similac Advance and one is on Similac Alimentum.

They are 9 months and take 3-4 6 ounce bottles a day.
At around 3 months they were eating every 2.5-3 hours with about 3-4 ounces a bottle.

 

My girls are on Member's Mark formula you get at Sam's Club. It is comparable to Enfamil Lipil w/ Iron and A LOT CHEAPER. They had no issues switching. The can is 51 oz. for $20.00.

The girls take anywhere from 4-6 oz. 5 times DURING THE DAY. THEY SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!

They are 3 months old and growing like weeds!

 

We use the WalMart/Sam's Club Gentle Formula (same as Enfamil Gentlease).
The Babies are 9 weeks Old.
DD takes between 3-5 oz every 3 hours (she sleeps through the night - at least 8 hours).
DS takes between 6-7 oz every 3 hours (he will make it 5-6 hours).

I would have thought it would be the other way around with sleeping through the night, but I think her metabolism is MUCH slower. She sleeps much better and more during the day, and she messes her diaper much less! He's a mess at every change!
