How much and how often should a 5 month old eat??

Question

He is formula fed

Answer 1

every baby is different. it depends if he sleeps though the night... how big he is etc

my son has just hit 4 months and has anywhere from 4-6oz every 3 hours , but sleeps about 10 hours at night.  

Answer 2

My daughter is 5 months but kind of tiny.  She is probably around 13lbs now.  She eats about 4-6oz anywhere from 2-4 hours.  And still isn't sleeping through the night.  Your baby should eat as much and as often as he/she needs on their own.  They know when they are hungry and when they are full.

Answer 3

wow that depends on the baby... everyone will give you a diff answer... including on-line sources. My little man is 5 1/2 months old... he will not take a full bottle... he likes to eat every couple hours a few ounces at a time... my doc says thats fine as long as he is growing...  

Answer 4

my baby is 5 1/2 month old , i started with solids when he was 4.

He takes approx 7-8 oz of formula 4-5 time and 2-3 times solid food.

Answer 5

every 4 to 5 hours and 4-6 oz depending on his appetite. that's approximate every baby is different
