Formula

I've got a question about ounces for baby formula.

See my little one is 4 months old and she's on cow and gate hungry baby formula and she has a bottle every 4 hours and she's on 7 ounces. She has a bottle at 9am then has her last one at 9pm then settles about half 10/11 PM then she would sleep all night. Is what I'm doing ok?

If it works for you and her then why would it not be ok?

if it’s working for you and your baby then I’d say it’s fine :)

What I mean is that is 7 oz to much for a baby her age

No it's not too much if they are only taking milk and no food.
You feed to appetite. How much does she take in 24 hours?

They look at how many oz babies have in a 24 hour period. If she's having 7oz in one feed and happy then she obviously is hungry for it. You feed to her needs/appetite. Happy baby. All babies are different. Don't worry! She would without a doubt let you know if it wasn't enough/too much.

Have a look in your Red Book. It tells you approximately how many ounces a baby her weight should have in 24 hours.

She has 4 bottles so she has her first bottle at 9am then her last one at 9pm

And she settles about half 10/11 PM and sleeps all night

So only 28oz? That's fine
