Problem with feeding (formula fed)
Does anyone else’s 6 month old give them a hard time with finishing bottles? I give mine 6oz around 5 times a day and she always stops drinking after 3 to 4oz. She rarely finishes bottles now but she is gaining weight (slowly). It’s just very frustrating and would love to know if anyone else relates.
She is only drinking between 20 to 26oz a day - is that ok for 6 months?

She is okay as long as she is gaining weight. My son only takes 4 of the 6 oz i give, but if I only give 4 oz, he wants more 😅
I feel that
Mine is the same! I’ve noticed since turning 6m she’s slowed down but I think it’s just a faze. I know when they are sick, teething or sleep regression the amount they eat can be affected
It makes me feel better that this is common!! Thank you guys!
My pediatrician recommended between 30-36 ounces per day at my son's 6 month appt

I would simply increase the frequency of feedings. Some babies just can't drink much in a sitting
