Question for the bottle feeding mamas...

At my son’s one month appointment, I mentioned that he would take 4 ounces every 3-4 hours, but take 5-6 ounces in the late afternoon/evening with 2-3 feedings every 2 hours. The pediatrician said that he was trying to make up for the lower feedings at the other times and to up the ounces. I did and he went from the 25th percentile in weight to the 43rd. He is now 13, almost 14 weeks, and eats 5-6 ounces every 4-5 hours during the day and has one 6 ounce bottle during the night. However, he will still eat 5-6 ounces every two or three hours in the late afternoon/evening.

My daughter will be 11 weeks on the 11th. She was 11.5 pounds at her 2 month appointment on the 26th of July. She eats 4-4.5 oz every 3-4 hours sometimes she wants it every 2.5 hours but mostly goes 3-4 hours. She sleeps through the night. She’s at about 27 oz a day at her last feeding around 10 pm. Sometimes it’s around 24 oz a day, she has reflux so it makes it hard sometimes for her to finish a bottle.

My son is 9w5d, he eats 6 times a day and takes 5oz every 3 hours. Sleeps from 930 to anywhere from 430 to 6. Although the past two days the first bottle of the day has been like 4oz then he’s done

11 weeks. Weighs about 13 pounds. Eats either 5 to 6oz every 3 to 4 hours.

My son is 15 weeks, I think he’s over 15lbs now. He has 6 bottles a day takes 6oz each feed.

My daughter goes about 2 to 3 hours per feeding and eats anywhere from 2 oz to 4 oz per feeding. She's kind of a grazer throughout the day. She eats Similac Alimentum so I'm thinking that may be why. I'm concerned about what her weight will be at her next appt because lately she's only taking in about 21-25oz per day regardless of my efforts to get her to eat more. She was 12 lbs 4 oz at her 2 month appt and is now almost 11 weeks old.

I'm in the same boat you are, like to a tee. My daughter was taking 4 oz every 3-4 hours but the Dr told me she needed to eat more. She was getting about 24 oz per day. She was 23" long and 11lbs 12 oz at her 2.5 month visit. Only in the last few days she has started taking 5 oz every 3 hours. It's really hard because she has reflux so trying to feed her more, is making her spit up worse, but I've gotten her to 29 oz per day.

My daughter is 12 weeks today. She eats 3 ounces every 2 hours between about 7am and 11pm. Then she eats once about 4 am

My son is 13 weeks, weighs 14lbs, eats 4-5oz every 2-3 hours.

11 weeks. Lately he’s been eating 4oz every 3 hours then has a 6oz at dinner time and 2oz before he goes to sleep. He averages 24oz per day.
