How many ounces does your 7 week old or one month old drink?

Question

So my baby is 7 weeks old and she usually drinks 3-4 ounces per feeding but everything I see online says she should be drinking 4! Sometimes she only takes 2 if she’s super tired and I try everything to keep her awake! Does this sound okay? We don’t go back to the doctor until March 4th, she’s been gaining weight and wetting diapers...

Answer

Feed baby whatever she wants. I don't eat the same amount of food at each meal so why should anyone else? The guidelines online are just suggestions, don't ever let anyone tell you you're not doing it right!

Answer

I have to strip my son near naked to have a successful feed. Maybe she gets to cozy and falls asleep?

Answer

Our pediatrician told us to feed our son whatever he felt satisfied by. So if he was content after a 4 ounce bottle for example then that’s what he would get at each feeding. It could be any number for your baby as long as they are satisfied when they finish the bottle
