How much breastmilk/formula should my 6 month old be eating a day?

don’t let your Baby control you. If he is hungry he will eat. it wont matter what it comes out of. As far as how much? He should teach you when he is hungry and when he is soiled just by how the baby acts.

every baby has his/her own personality and they are all so different. My 11 month is with the slow flow when as to my 2yr old was using the fast flow since she was 5 months old. dont worry too much if you think he is not getting enough food. His stomach is small so he gets full fast, but when he is hungry you will most certanly know. Thats just the way it goes, a mom knows.

All babies are different, try a medium flow nipple. Remember to burp him after 2-4oz. He may just be filling up on AIR. If you get some really good burps after 2oz. then stick to burping him after every 2oz. How is he doing on the cereal. If he does good on the cereal try feeding him that 2-3 times a day, between/before bottle time. My oldest didn’t drink much either. Just make sure he is wetting and that his poop isn’t getting harder than usual. If you notice that his pee is darker than usual then you SHOULD be concerned. just because the Doctor says that he should be drinking 6-8oz a feeding doesn’t mean that he CAN, go with your gut feelings, if your really worried go back to the Doctor and ask for some one on one time with a nutritionist or other professional that can help you.
