how much are you babies feeding?

Question

My baby boy is 10 weeks old today. he was taking 4-5oz of formula per feed. the past few days i can’t get anymore than 3oz in him per feed. does this sound normal? i’m a little concerned he isn’t getting enough.

Answer

If they’re hungry, they’ll eat. I worry about that too, but I know that she eats what she needs to. My daughter only eats around 3-4 oz a feeding but she usually eats every 2 hours or less during the day. She eats more at night and then sleeps longer, but during the day she doesn’t eat much at a time. As long as they’re still making dirty diapers and happy, you don’t need to worry

Answer

Mine just turned 11 weeks and at around 10 weeks I found that he seemed to be a little more fussy at feedings as they get more distracted by their surroundings, I've had to spend the last few days trying new timings and amounts with his feedings and have finally found something that works for him, I'm currently doing 5oz every 3 hours, 
If you're worried they aren't getting enough I tend to look out for their cues that they are full, i.e. Slowing down on the bottle, becoming drowsy and another indicator I find easy to follow is by feeling their tummy, if that feels full then I know he has had plenty of milk and doesn't need anymore otherwise I am faced with a load of spit up! Hope this helps
