My dd has around 3 to four bottles of milk only. They can be around a 300ml (nine and a hlaf ounzes) feed at a time. We've offered her more, but she doesnt want it.
Her routine is generally, wakes up anywhere between 7 and 8am, takes her downstairs where she declines a bottle, and wakes back up at about 10ish. She'll have around 300ml bottle. Plays for a good few hours with some sleep, and have another bottle. She'll have a last one around 8pm, again 300ml. She'll sleep then from anything between nine and ten through till the next morning.
Is this ok. We've tried giving her more, but she wont have it at all.

Is she happy? Is she growing? ie is she keeping on her centile line? If she was hungry she would take more and wouldn't be sleeping through the night.

So, how many ounces is she having per 24 hours? About 27 ounces? That sounds fine to me. Pretty good actually.

Wow! 9 1/2 ounces at each feed - I am impressed, and not suprised she won't take more!

It fits in with what it says on the back of my tin - 3 month guidelines are around 35oz per day - your dd has 30 - 38. sounds average and without the hassle of bitting and bobbing with 4 ounces here and there
