How many OZ are you feeding your baby ?

Question

OK so my baby is four months old she weighs about 16 pounds and when she was born she was 6 pounds and 2.5 ounces :D 
Dr. says she's healthy and doing well but he does say that he might be getting a little too much weight possibly because I am giving her 8 ounces a day every two hours is that correct I mean she seems to be hungry all the time and I'm not hundred percent sure if I should start feeding her yet because she's only four months feeding meaning that I would give her baby food!! 
I feel like some of the time I don't know what I'm doing but I really want to make sure my baby is healthy and that she's getting what she needs so I could really use some advice

Answer

My doctor said 1oz. For every hour they wait until 3 months then 2oz for every hour they wait. And don't give baby food until 6 months at least.

Answer

Every 2 hours seems way too close apart, especially at 8oz, but I am not a doctor. My daughter is 4 months old at 12lbs 7oz, born 5 weeks early, and drinks 8oz every 4-5 hrs (4 bottles a day) and eats cereal, fruit, & veggies.

Answer

Currently my 11-month old son drinks 3 8 oz bottles each day. He doesn't always finish the bottle, sometimes drinking 6 or 7 oz. Around his bedtime, he takes in about another 4 oz. I've got a big eater on my hands.

I'm a FTM and I was concerned I was overfeeding my baby. This was around 5 months of age i was bery concerned. However, my pediatrician told me it's fine to feed him until the baby turns away. The pediatrician said baby will lead you and let me know when he was full. So, I've just followed the doctor's advice. My son pushes the bottle away to signal he's done.

At my son's 9 month WC visit, the pediatrician said he was growing just fine and was at a healthy weight. His 12 mo wc visit is August 3rd -- hoping for another good report.

Answer

My son is now eating 6oz 4hours apart.

He started cereal at 6 weeks. Apple sauce at 8 weeks. And now he's eating his formula. Oatmeal cereal, bananas, Apple sauce, pears (just tried it this weekend and really enjoyed it).

Everytime I mention about my son eating solids, some self righteous mothers like to forcefully voice their opinions.

However at the end of the day. It's my baby. I shall feed him whatever and however I want. He's healthy, happy, and growing like a weed!
