How much is your little one eating ?

Question

My daughter is 9 weeks and i feel like she’s been eating 3oz or less each feeding forever now and not going up.. she is gaining weight great but when will she start eating more ?

Answer

My son is almost 11 weeks and eats 4oz about 5 times a day, but this past week he has increased some feeds to 5oz. 
He was doing 4oz consistently for over a month now.

Answer

Breastfed or formula fed? If breastfed, the amount really never changes. 1-2.25oz per hour from now until 1. So if baby eats every 2-3 hours then you’ll always give approximately 2-3.75oz depending on how long between feeding.

Answer

My 10 week old is breastfed and eats for 6 minutes every 1 hour 40 minutes. When we give him bottles he eats 1.75- 2oz.  We feed him at early hunger cues so maybe he isn’t super hungry every time he eats.  He’s gaining weight, has enough dirty diapers, and sleeps through the night.

Answer

I breast feed usually but when I do give my baby a bottle he only eats 3-4 oz and he eats every 2 hours, he’s 11 weeks

Answer

My daughter is 7 weeks and does anywhere between 2-4 oz a day but she eats like 12+ times a day. Anywhere between 24-32 oz. she’s gaining weight and has at minimum 10 wet diapers a day so I don’t really worry about it🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s inconvenient to feed so often but that’s how she likes to eat

Answer

My sons only almost 8 weeks and is the same way. Some feeding he will take 3 and some he will only take 2.5. The dr wants him to drink 4 which is absurd because sometimes when he drinks the 3 he throws up like it was too much. I’m not gonna over feed him. He’s gaining weight so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

My little one is 9 weeks and eats between 2-3oz every 2 hours during the day and sleeps bit longer at night so will take between 3 1/2-4oz but sometimes eats even less than that

Answer

My older daughter was EBF and never took a bottle over 4 oz. My son was combo fed and never took more than 5 oz. So your baby may not increase. As long a LO is gaining, I wouldn't worry about it.
