How much is your baby eating?

Question

I’m curious to see how much everybody’s babies are eating. Whether it be formula and/or breast milk. My daughter is five weeks old and sometimes I feel like she isn’t eating enough even though she seems to be completely satisfied.

Answer

Not sure if your baby is breastfed or formula or if it makes a difference between the two for this but one of the lactation consultants that runs a breastfeeding group I'm in on fb says that babies need 1-1.5 ounces for every hour of the day so max 24-36 ounces in 24 hours, so about 3-4 ounces every 3 hours sounds right on target! I don't pump so I don't really know exactly how much my baby is getting but I'm thinking it's around that much since she's gaining weight the way they want her to and everything.

Answer

My little girl goes thru 3-4 ounces of formula about every 3 hours. She's almost 6 weeks.

Answer

My 7 week old eats about 3.5 - 4 oz every 3 hours during the day. She will take a 5 oz bottle at around 2:30 am (last fed at 8 pm).

Answer

3-4 oz at 6 weeks. She was on 3 oz like 3 days after I took her home now transitioning to 4 oz within the last week. She was starting to get fussy every 1.5 hours instead of every two that how I knew to increase it. But now on 4 oz it's back to every 2 hours during the day.
