Baby fighting with bottle.

So I just transitioned my baby from breastfeeding to formula. It was easy tbh. She hasn't had any reactions or complications.

The only problem I have is that she gets distracted so easily and I have to fight with her so she drinks her whole bottle. She drinks 1-3oz. And then refuses to drink more. I have to walk, sing.... She's drinking between 20-30 oz every day... I don't know if that's good or bad... We are giving her solids 3 meals and 2 snacks. (Doctor recommended since she was not gaining weight )

Is that normal for babies to fight when they are drinking their bottles? I almost cry every time that I have to throw away the ounces that she didn't drink....

She's gonna be 7 months in a week. How many oz should she be drinking?

Thanks

Some babies just don’t drink as much. My daughter never drank more than 5 ounces at a time and I didn’t want to force her and her pediatrician said that was fine. I think at 6 months old she was only drinking 3 ounces and ate about every 3 hours or so. The only time my daughter would fight the bottle was when she wasn’t hungry.

Opinions on hungrier baby milk? My girl is drinking well over 30 oz in 24 hours. I tried her with water inbetween feeds but she just won't settle in till she has milk as she's hungry not thirsty. She's awake like 18 hours a day 😭
