Are there other babies that just don’t eat that much? Mine is 16 weeks and getting him to eat as much as he’s ‘supposed’ to is impossible! He’s bottle fed (formula and breast milk) and if I can get him to eat 4 times in a 24 hour period, we’re doing well. He sleeps through the night (8pm to 6:30/7 most days) and will just not take the bottle every three or so hours. I know every baby is different but every source I see says that he should be drinking over 30oz in 24 hours and he gets like, 21-26oz if we’re lucky.

He has wet diapers and he is getting bigger (he’s long, not chubby) but we live in an area without enough medical care and he doesn’t have a family doctor, so it’s hard to know for sure if he’s really doing the best he can.
