How much is your 8 week old eating?

Question

Every 3 hrs? She still eats only 3 ozs for the past few weeks but gaining weight. Best way to increase

Answer

My girl is 12 weeks old and still only had 3oz at a time every 2-4 hours! She’s in the 85th percentile for weight, just doesn’t eat big meals!

Answer

My daughter usually eats 3 ounces but sometimes four. If she’s gaining fine no need to increase the amount.

Answer

When my baby was that age he didn’t eat even 3oz. The most he ate was 2 1/2 oz. Now he’s 6 months and eating 8oz in the morning and 7oz the rest of the day. Don’t worry, your baby will take how much they need

Answer

Just follow babies cues. Every baby is different. Even if information says “your baby should be drinking 6oz every 4-5 hrs by X month” you kid may prefer small meals. 
My day care got really frustrated with my son because he would never take more than 4oz. He was a consistent every 3 hour kid his entire first year and really until recently he ate a meal or snacked about every 2-3 hrs.

Answer

Thats normal. 2-4oz at a time every 2-5 hours is normal the entire first year.
