How much and how often do you feed your 4 month old?

Question

My baby gets fed 6oz every 3-4 hours 30oz a day. His last appointment he was 15 pounds. Our pediatrician told us to feed him double his weight. So he’s 15lbs he should get at least 30oz... well it’s been a few weeks since then and I’m wondering if I should up the amount? He’s not fussy and sleeps well at night but I can’t help but think he’s not eating enough🤦🏽‍♀️

Answer

Baby will let you know when they want more — try not to stress

Answer

If he’s not fussy and sleeps well then don’t do it. He is perfectly fine. The moment he does get fussy, up the amount. Trust me, worked for my son. Every body is different. So if he’s fine then don’t mess with him

Answer

My 6 1/2 months old eats 2 oz 😂 my daughter has 8 pediatricians and they never say a thing about her feeding🤷🏼‍♀️ I guess every state and doctor is different.

Answer

I’m always worried my guy isn’t eating enough, too! I figure he’ll let me know if he wants more and sometimes he does

Answer

My son was a pig and was eating 6-8oz every two hours at that age. 😂😂
Every baby is different. If they seem hungry, feed more. If they seem happy, leave it be.

Answer

My son is 14 weeks and eats a 7oz bottle at 9am then 6oz at 12,3,6 and 9 and his last bottle is 7oz at midnight. He is a big boy though.

Answer

My 6 month old has never eaten more than 4 oz at a time 🤷‍♀️
