Normal?

Question

Is it normal that my baby can go almost 4 hours on only 2 oz of milk? She is 7 weeks. I find it strange. She has gained weight since birth. But her feedings are about every 4 hours, 2oz

Answer

My little girl doesn’t eat much either.. she’s gaining weight fine. I’m 1 month she gained 2
Pounds so they aren’t worried. 
She’s about 2-3oz every 3-4 hours. At night she will go 5-6 hours without eating. 
Honestly I’m not worried about it, when baby is hungry she will eat ☺️☺️

Answer

Seems low. After 3-4 hours my girl (6 weeks) will eat 3-4 oz. sometimes some smaller feeds in between

Answer

Hmmm my pediatrician said 1 oz an hour is what they normally like to see. Have you told the pediatrician? If baby is gaining weight I am sure it is just fine also is this formula or breast milk? Formula seems to fill up babies for a longer period of time because breast milk is highly digestible in the body. My baby eats every 1.5-2 hrs during the day and every 3 hours at night. 3 hours she will eat 3 oz but sometimes only 2.5. Thats breastmilk. If she is growing good I am sure baby is prob just fine.
