A member asked:
My baby is 4 months old and we have just started formula feeding her, according to her weight she is supposed to be drinking 900ml a day. we can only get her to drink between 700ml-800ml per day is that ok or do we need to feed her more.

Okay by me: Babies will generally take what they need to thrive unless they are sick. If the kid is playful, happy, taking feeds well & gaining weight you don't need to push it. If baby hits a growth spurt it may take more on a given day, but that volume sounds fine.
