How much does your formula fed baby eat?

Question

My son is 9 weeks old (he arrived a couple weeks early and ended up a December baby) and we had many MANY issues breast feeding. Ultimately at 6 weeks we went from supplementing with formula to switching to formula full time. My question is how many oz does your little one eat in a feeding?

Our little guy takes 4oz at a time every 3 hours or so and if he eats 5 he MIGHT wait 4 hours but he just always seems hungry and I'm afraid to overfeed him. He's currently 24 inches long and around 11.5 lbs

Answer

1 month he eat 5oz every 2 to 3 hrs

Answer

My baby drinks the most in the morning. She will drink 5 oz during the night, 5 in the morning, then 3-4 an hour or so after that. Then she'll snack on 2-2.5 the rest of the day. Some of it is breastmilk and some is formula. She's gaining weight just fine (we bought a digital baby scale to make sure and put my mind at ease)

Answer

Our baby is almost 3 weeks. He eats every 4 hours, sometimes 3. Each feeding he eats anywhere from 2.5-4oz.

Answer

My daughter eats 4-5 oz every 3 -4 hr but sometimes every 2 hrs. Dr said it's fine and to just feed her when she's hungry

Answer

My son is 2 months today. 3.5oz every 2-3 hours. He is eating around 30 oz a day. Dr said it's fine. Take his weight and multiple it by 2.5. That is roughly what they should be eating in a day. This works until they start on solids.
