My 6 months old started neocate 3 weeks ago due to milk prot allergy, she used to drink 6x150ml a day. since she's on neocate she's down to 5 x 150ml a day and not finishing any bottles at all only on average 80-100ml per feed. is this normal?

We don't think of mL: We try to mimic nature, meaning we imagine babies breastfeeding and growing fine. That means we don't ask and don't know how many mL a baby drinks in a day or in a feeding (that is how breastfeeding works in nature). So, we don't think about mL, but rather about a baby's growth, development, and happiness. If those three are fine, the mL doesn't matter, because in nature we don't even know the mL.

Growth/hydration: If the baby is gaining weight and height, and maintaining their fluid balance, this may be fine. The baby foods offered at this age also have water content, vitamins and calories.
