How many oz??

Question

How many oz are my fellow exclusive pumper moms giving their little ones & how often? My baby is 14 weeks old & gets 4 oz breastmilk every 2 or sometimes 3 hours. I wonder if I'm not feeding him enough but I thought I read that 4 oz was a good #.... anybody know? Thanks in advance!

Answer

Our 16 week old is eating 5oz every 2-3 hours during the day (I'm a STay-at-home-daddy, so I feed him pumped mommy milk).  He nurses when she gets home and at bed time ...at bedtime usually nurses for up to 30 min on each breast then sleeps from 9pm-5am.  He nurses in the Morning from breast, then from about 8am-5pm eats like I said 5 oz every 2-3 hrs.  Hope that helps since momma pumps for us during the day 🙂💙

Answer

My daughter just turned 4 months on the 3rd, I exclusively pump. She was eating 4oz every 3 hours since she was like 2 months old and now all of the sudden (as of 2 weeks ago) she started wanting 5-7oz every 2-3 hours during the day but has stopped waking up to eat at night (except for a single 1-3oz feeding around 3-4am.) I kid you not it seemed like the change happened over the span of a day or 2. I think if your baby wants more to eat they will definitely let you know.

Answer

My baby just turned 4 months old and gets 4 oz of breastmilk every 3 hours except at night (she sleeps thru the night)

Answer

My 16 week old gets 4oz every 2-3hrs except at night she sleeps 11hrs straight thru the night. She gets about 18-24oz a day with I feel is low but she's gaining weight so I guess we are good.

Answer

My baby is gonna be 16 weeks in two days and on an average he takes 4 oz in 3 to 3.5 hours. My doctor says an oz an hour is a good feed.

Answer

My girl is 15 weeks and is now doing 4.5-5 oz every three hours during the day. Then she sleeps for 6 hours without waking to eat, then continues on the 3 hour like clock work. I usually judge when to increase it by how often she's getting hungry, we like to keep it 3 hours at least in between. And we also watch if she is full after she eats, like if she spits up and how much. Every baby is different!

Answer

She typically eats every 2-3 hours but if she sleeps at daycare for an especially long nap (4hrs+) she'll eat up to 7oz according to updates from daycare.  At home she'll drink 4-6 oz.  When she wakes up in the morning she'll only drink an oz or so until about half an hour later then she'll have another four or fiver oz.

Answer

My baby is 3 mo and a half and drink 8ounces every 4 hours

Answer

My daughter is 14 weeks and she eats 3oz every 3 hours sometimes she will get 3.5oz. If she sleeps beyond 5 hours i will give her 4oz. I never give her more than that because she will usually spit it up. Giving her this amount she content and never spits up. She one happy baby weighing in 11lb, in a size 3 diaper and wearing 3-6 month clothing.

Answer

I just started doing bigger bottles @ each feeding, my girl will be 4 months old on June 10th, she's very long/tall (99th percentile) & she's loving the bigger bottles! I'm doing 5.5 to 6.5 oz. every 2 to 3 hours, she gets usually a little less if she wakes to eat during the night, we're currently going thru the 4 month sleep regression so after sleeping thru the night for weeks she's now back to waking once or twice a night. Sigh. The guidelines I read online said 2 to 2.5 oz per pound of your babies weight per day & that babies that receive breast milk usually wanna eat slightly more frequently then formula fed like 8 versus 6 times a day. My girl is now getting around 32oz. for a 24hr period
