How much should a 5 month old be drinking? 7 Months, 2 Weeks ago
Karma: 6
I'm curious to know how much 5 month olds should be drinking?
Right now I've been making 4 oz bottles for the little baby that I am watching. His mom pumps and is only able to bring so much each day. He seems content after a 4 oz bottle but I wonder if he should be getting more. Her MIL and mom are pushing her to put rice cereal in his bottles so that he will go longer and she won't have to use as much milk. I'm not so sure this is a good idea. Her doctor gave her the go ahead with starting solids but he just doesn't seem ready (he was born a month early so he's still a tiny guy).
