How much does your baby eat?

Question

When I was in the hospital after I had her they provided the premade bottles of newborn enfamil which are two oz and they told me I'm not suppose to give her the full two oz even though she wanted it. When I got home from the hospital I started giving her two oz bottles and she did fine with it and acted full but now she is 10 days old and is still hungry after 2oz. I'm wondering if she needs a 3oz bottle now? Is that ok to give her this soon? Right now I'm giving 2oz bottle and breast feeding after but on the times I can't breast feed after should I give her a 3oz bottle?

Answer

If she's wanting more give her it, my son was drinking over his recommended amount, he is 7 weeks and drinking 5/6 oz per feed. Health visitor said his weight is great. If she is looking for more bump her bottles up to 3oz. Once your baby is finishing her bottles at every feed you should bump it up to give her the option to drink more😊

Answer

I was told the same thing, my son was fed a 2oz and was still crying. My hubby gave in and fed him another 5oz and he  drank ALL and went to sleep right after. LO was abt a week old at that time. Mind you he was born big ,over 8lbs. Not all babies are the same, you work with your instincts and what they (LO) 'tell' you.
