How much does your 6week old baby drink?

Question

I breastfeed so it's hard to know how much my baby is getting but when I pump which is often I usually pump 2 1/2-3 oz for her to drink and she usually wakes up every 2-3 hrs when napping. Is this normal? How much does your child drink?

Answer

My son is 3 weeks and eats 4-5oz every 2-3 hours

Answer

Nurse 30 minutes. Or a 2 oz bottle. Sometimes 3 oz at night so she sleeps longer

Answer

My baby (5.5 weeks old) was on the breast for over an hour every two hours! (Or on demand) my doc said this was ok to do as long as my nipple was ok. Turns out he was eating to much and as a result was really fussy! He gained 12 oz in one week! Now doc said to make sure he only eats for a total of 40 mins per feeding 20 mins per boob. Ever two hours.. He cries and cries when I take him off early..... Anyone else deal with anything like this?

Breastfed babies only need 1.5-2 oz each feeding.
