Is baby getting enough!?

Hi all!
Just been sat here wondering if my baby boy 4 months old is drinking enough. In a day he has about 4 7oz bottles (7am, 12pm, 5pm, 9.30pm) & sleeps after he's last bottle around 10pm-7am ....is this normal?? He's petite but generally looks healthy weight

All babies are different! If he's generally happy and growing well then yes. If he cries for more and seems hungry still, then no.

A good way to tell if a formula fed baby is getting enough is if they leave a little bit left in their bottle. That way you know they've had their fill.

If he's following his line on the weight chart and a happy boy then I don't see an issue.

You'd know if he wanted more.
