Thank you for your replies and advice!
I added up her formula in 24 hours for 4 days in a row and she has gone from drinking 600ml to well above 1000ml and is today down again to 600ml (seems like she's had a growth spurt). I'm not worried about it atm as she's having plenty of wet nappies, so I'm just going with the flow and seeing how her weight gain is going at the next plunket appt in 2 weeks.

I used to stress about my DD when I switeched her to formula. Basically I agree with the other posters - as long as she is gaining weight, having wet nappies then I wouldn;t worry.

You're doing fine! ]]> Thu, 06 May 2010 20:58:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33252&PID=1018656&title=not-drinking-enough#1018656 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33252&PID=1018543&title=not-drinking-enough#1018543 Author: Jaxnz1

The amounts on the tins are only a guideline. DD has never had the amount they recommend. As said above as long as they are putting on weight I wouldn't worry! ]]> Thu, 06 May 2010 19:09:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33252&PID=1018543&title=not-drinking-enough#1018543 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33252&PID=1016807&title=not-drinking-enough#1016807 Author: Kazzle

as long as she has wet nappies and is gaining weight then she is drinking enough.

Cory has never drunk that much and at 11mths is only just drinking 500mls.

I have found that Cory has never followed the recommended amounts on the formula tin so i just gave him what he wanted when he wanted it]]> Wed, 05 May 2010 12:13:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33252&PID=1016807&title=not-drinking-enough#1016807 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33252&PID=1016669&title=not-drinking-enough#1016669 Author: Anonymous55

My baby has been fully FF since last week and I never paid much attention to her volume intake because she seems happy and reasonably settled but I looked at the tin a few days ago and it says she needs about 150ml 5-6x a day for a 1-2 month old baby (she's 8 weeks today). Now she only drinks very small amounts about 7 times a day, most of them under 100ml.
I added up all her feeds yesterday and she drank only 650ml in 24 hrs and some of that I literally forced down.

Is that enough?? Especially considering she's 2 months and should now take 200ml in a feed, well, according to the silly formula tin.

I am really not worried about how many times she feeds a day but I'm just wondering if her overall intake is ok?

She's got wet nappies and had been putting weight on fine while BF + formula topups. She's 5.9kgs.
