How Many Oz Should My Baby Be Feeding?

Question

My baby girl is 2 weeks. She went for her two week check up and had gained back her birth weight plus some. I am strictly pumping since she won't latch and I had been giving her all she wanted til she fell asleep. This is usually around 120ml every three hours. My doctor said that was wayyyy to much to be giving her at one sitting. She should only be getting 90ml. She still acts likes she is starving! Is there some kind of chart or something to go by for me to know when to up her milk supply??

Answer

My 2 week old eats anywhere from 100-125mL

Answer

My 2 week old eats 3-4oz every 3 hours. My pediatrician sees nothing wrong with the amount he is eating. But my son does tend to sleep 5 hours at a time at night. He'll wake up maybe once at night & once again early morning.

Answer

This is kinda what I use as a reference..from enfamil

Answer

That does seem like a lot. My one month old is barely eating 3 oz. lol. But he's satisfied with that too. Oh and I give him breast first but I don't have much breast milk supply.

Answer

I'm not sure if that's enough but my baby girl is 2 weeks and 2 days and she only takes 2 to 3 oz top! My pediatrician told me that babies will stick eat even though they are full so that could be why she said that. It might be too much tho for your baby only to be 2 weeks.

Answer

I'm not a pediatrician, but 120 does seem like a lot. I only give  3oz at the most for my 5 week old. I was told by my pediatrician today that her stomachs max capacity right now is 3oz at one feeding. She feeds every 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours, I actually tried giving her more last week, because she still appeared hungry, well she sucked it down and no sooner than 5 minutes later, there was projectile all over me!!
