6 Day Old Eating Hourly?

Question

Is it okay for my six day old to be eating about an oz of breast milk from the bottle every hour?

Answer

If baby is hungry, feed them. There is no “normal” for newborns.

Answer

Feed on demand☺️ babies that drink breast milk digest it faster than formula fed babies so they’ll eat more often plus they could be cluster feeding too.

Answer

Took a breast feeding class the other night and this slide may be helpful.

Answer

It should be 1.5-3 oz every 2-3 hours. My baby did 2 oz every 2 hours for the first month.

Answer

Babies 6 days old are supposed to be eating about every 2 hours

Answer

At 6 days old it might also be the beginning of a cluster feeding period. It typically happens around 7-10 days old, 2-3 weeksold, 4-6 weeks , 3 months , 4 months, 6 and 9 months old. With variations. normally lasts 2-3 days till around a week.

Answer

I think they should only be fed like 3 ounces every 3-4 hours at that age if I can remember correctly
