How many OZ should a 6 day old be having?

Question

I have a 6 day old that I am only formula feeding... curious how many oz everyone else’s newborns are having?

Answer

1-2 ounces is what my last two babies started out with. They won't eat much at first, their tummies are about the size of a cherry.

Answer

I am currently breastfeeding, but I have had to supplement a few times. My daughter would take about 2oz of formula at about a week old. Start there, and if baby still seems hungry give another ounce. That way you won’t overfeed, but have an idea of what baby needs. They still don’t eat much the first couple of weeks.
