Is my baby drinking enough?

[spiraledpetals]

My baby is 2 weeks shy of 6 months, she drinks about 17 ounce of milk daily, recently increase an additional feed of 5oz so total 21oz. plus twice cereal, only about 2-3 teaspoon. Is she drinking enough? She's taller then average babies, among the 75 percentile, so she's very lean and everybody keeps saying she's not drinking enough and she's very skinny! But if I try to feed her more, she refuse!

Shouldn't we be lead by baby instead of forcing them to drink what's acceptable?

yr baby will know whether she is enough fed or not. if she reject then don force her, if not you can increase to 4 spoon on cereal. I do not use teaspoon, i use those scoop for milk wan so its more than teaspoon.
