How much is she eating? Help!

Question

Hi mommy’s! 
I am 3.5 pp and FTM here! I feel like I should have this figured out by now... We are EBF but I’m curious how do I know how much she is eating per feed? She eats roughly ever 2 hours. I have a stash starting to build up and would like my husband to be able to bottle feed her but I don’t have any idea of how many ouches she would need. Is there any general amount a 8.5lb baby eats per feed?
TIA!

Answer

What Silji said. I found this helpful too. My daughter pretty much stayed right at this. She was at 3oz at a time from 1-4 months and then went to 4oz right around 4 months and stayed there until a year old.

Answer

This is important when stating bottles:

So if she normally eats every 2hours start giving 2oz. Just a heads up there is a clusterfeeding period just around the corner at 4-6weeks. Just in case baby changes her eatroutine.

Answer

Get a scale! Weigh her before and after to see how many oz she got

Answer

I was told a 3.5w eats around two oz per feeding
