Eating?

Question

My little one will be 16 weeks tomorrow. I supplement breastfeeding with formula. She’s getting minimal milk from me. Currently she’s eating between 18-20 ml of formula per day. Sometimes I feel like I’m feeding her too much but she doesn’t push it away. How much is your baby of similar age eating? And how do you know if your baby is full?!

Answer

My little guy wasn’t gaining weight quickly, turns out it was a cows milk protein intolerance but I started exclusively pumping just to take the guesswork out of how much he eats per day. We also supplement a couple bottles a day of hypoallergenic formula just to give him some extra calories. Overall he usually averages 27/28 ounces per day.

Answer

My LO is 16 weeks today and eats about 30-35 oz a day.

Answer

My baby eats about 26-29 oz during the day .

Answer

My LO is 12 weeks old. She drinks 33oz a day on average. Ways to tell they are full is if they are falling asleep while eating, turning head away from bottle, losing the latch later into a feeding, when body becomes very relaxed and hands/arms are limp.. all can be signs of fullness.  Also, be sure to adequately space out feedings so during the day that can be anywhere from 2-4 hours apart. Look for baby’s signs on hunger. At night, do not wake to feed.. if you are exclusive breastfeeding and want to know how much your baby is taking each day, you could try to pump 1 or 2 sessions a day to see how much you are making, average those two sessions and estimate that times # breast feedings plus the amount you supplement to see what your LO takes per day.
