See?? My doctor told me at my last appointment me feeding my son 26 oz a day was too little and bumped us up to either 5 6 oz bottles a day or 4 71/2 oz a day. Hes on alimentum so im not sure if that makes a difference. I'm getting scared because my family is telling me hes still way too little. We only feed him him cereal once a day every other day to start because his stomach is sensitive but we are bumping it up to every day in a week so I'm hoping that'll make the difference. I cant even get a straight answer on the average weight and height for a 5 month old boy. Dr.s say different things to different people i guess.

5.5 months and anywhere from 30-40oz a day - however this is pretty consistent from her first month where she started downing 6-7oz a feeding. She's 95th percentile for weight (20lbs at her 4 month) but she's slimming down a bit now as she gets more active - rolling, kicking, sitting up - even trying to crawl!

My 5 month old doesn't eat as much as he used to but gets a "breakfast" and "dinner" now. He has 4 bottles during the day, anywhere from 4-6.5 oz each time. He has 2 bottles during the night, usually one 4oz and one 6oz. So, a totaly of about 27-30oz. He also eats a (pureed) fruit and veggie for breakfast and the same for dinner. Probably 6 tablespoons of food total.
