How much does your LO eat?

Question

My girl is 5 weeks, and it’s a struggle to get her to finish 3oz each feed (I bottle feed and exclusive pump). She’s gaining weight and is in the 50th percentile, and has plennnty of wet/dirty diapers, but I cant help compare to my first daughter who would down. 4-5oz bottle in no time! 
She had a tongue tie corrected which immensely helped, and I feel she may just be a lazy feeder. Anyone else have this issue lol

Answer

Mine is a month old an eating 3-3.25. Sometimes he wants more sometimes he doesn’t finish them. They’ll let us know if they’re still hungry.

Answer

My 1 month old was taking 3 ounces every 3-4 hours but after her appointment today doctor suggested taking her down and feeding her more often because she’s not gaining weight and referred us to a gastroenterologist

Answer

5 weeks, 4-5 ounces.

Answer

My son is a lazy eater with latch issues. He takes one breast and then all the sudden, can't remember how to latch anymore. I think his jaw gets really tired, as I do have a really heavy letdown. So he takes one breast, then 2-3 oz of whatever I pump from the other side. Sometimes he will take both breasts and no bottle. I have to wake him to eat because he won't on his own. 
He barely gained back birth weight at 2 weeks. My first had gained 12 oz by 2 weeks and my second had gained 1 lb, 6 oz by 2 weeks old. So I was worried, but his doctor says he's fine since he gained his birth weight back by two weeks.

Answer

My 7 week old only takes 2-3oz every 3hours. Exclusively pumped milk.

Answer

My son was killing 4oz every 2-3 hours at 3 weeks. I was worried he was over feeding but now he is 4 weeks and fluctuates from 2oz to 4oz. He typically takes 3-3.5oz every 2 hours.

Answer

My lo is 4 weeks and is all over the board lately. Sometimes it's 2oz sometimes 3 or 4. As long as she's eating in not too worried.

Answer

Mine was just able to finish 3 oz then and he’s 6 1/2 weeks now and only finishes 3.5-4 but he’s gaining and I’m not worried now, I was in the beginning but just decided he’s eating at his own pace and not try and compare him. He definitely lets us know when he wants more and when he’s full so I just to just let him decided how much he wants.

Answer

My baby is 2 weeks old tomorrow and drinks 3oz to 3.25 oz every 3 hours. Sometimes 2 hours later hes hungry again. He has breast milk in a bottle.
