how much is your newborn eating?

Question

my daughter is 4 days old and i’m wondering how much she should be feeding (appropriately) if she eats every 2-3 hours. she eats breast milk from bottle 
thank you!

Answer

At 4 days old a newborns stomach is very small. This is a chart my ibclc goes by.

Answer

Idk but at a week he was satisfied with 4oz. My son usually falls asleep while eating from the boob so he probably eats more than that but he’s 11 weeks now & from a bottle he eats 5oz sometimes 6oz.

Answer

Also once baby’s stomach gets bigger with age. You need to follow this. Pace feeding a is a huge must with breastfeeding

Answer

Breastfed babies need 1-1.5 ounces an hour generally.  There’s some wiggle room on that but especially in a baby that small, I’d start with smaller bottle more frequently and add more if necessary.   Google pace feeding - that really helps feeding a breastfed baby.

Answer

1-3oz every 3hours
