How much do your babies eat?

Question

Either formula or expressed breastmilk. How many ounces are your babes eating per feed on average? And how many times per day? 
Anyone gotten LO to sleep through the night yet?

Answer

My LO is 6 weeks and he eats between 4-5oz if expressed breastmilk every 2-3hrs during the day. He will sleep 5hrs (10-3) at night and then after his bottle will go back to sleep until 6ish and then is up to start his day. He take between 7-8 bottles in 24hrs.

Answer

My baby is 7 weeks. He eats 7-8 times per day. Usually 2.5-3.5 hours between during the day. He usually sleeps from 10-5 and then wakes up hungry. Gaining weight like a champ and has lots of diapers. He only gets breastmilk. Depending on the day, he sometimes gets bottled breastmilk (4oz) before bed. And once in awhile he’ll wake earlier and he gets a bottle if it’s middle of the night that’s the same amount. At 4 weeks the lactation consultant noted he got about 3 oz from eating off me and he eats longer at home so I’m guessing 4-5 when he has a good feeding.

Answer

It’s different for formula, but breastfed babies eat 1-1.5 oz an hour. So usually a 2-2.5 oz bottle every 2 hours is what I give my baby if I need to leave him with someone.

Answer

Our 5 week old eats 4-5 ounces every 2-3 hours. Strictly formula fed from birth just like our oldest. Our oldest was sleeping though the night by this point but our youngest is not yet. I’m not in any rush there. At night she goes 3-5 hours in between bottles.

Answer

4oz for my breastfed baby and 4oz for my formula fed baby. They eat about every 3-3 1/2hrs. At night they go every 4-6hrs
