A member asked:

My daughter 4 mo will only take 4oz at every feeding 7 times a day. 3 1/2 oz if fed baby food too. should she be eating more? she weighs 14lbs 11 oz.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

28-32oz a day is ok: The total daily intake is average and her weight sounds good, unless she was a really big baby at birth.. Many babies this age prefer a larger quantity and fewer bottles. If feedings take a long time, check the nipple flow. Also, some babies spit up if they take too much at a time, or they just prefer to be "grazers.".
