My son is almost 6 months old and he eats 5-6 ounces about every 4 hours and eats baby food for lunch and dinner.. He usually eats more before he goes to bed.. But in my opinion at 5 months old they will stop eating when there bellys full and every baby is different

Wyatt eats at least three bottles a day.. most of them 8 ounces, he might trick us and only take 6 sometimes lol... and then he has cereal and/or cereal mixed with fruit 2 -3x a day

To get an idea on what they should be drinking in formula you just times their weight by 2 for the minimum intake and 2.5 for the maximum intake. This means my nearly 5 month old daughter should be having 26oz a day, she sometimes has that but I'm lucky if I can get her to take 20oz a day.

Three 6 oz bottles during the day also eats cereal for lunch and fruit for dinner. She takes an 8 oz bottle before bed. She is also a big girl.

6 oz every 4 hours or so and I've had her try some baby veggies here and there. [:

4 or 5oz every 2-3hrs when I pump. I don't do formula, but it's an idea :o)
