Eating?

Question

My son is 5 weeks and eats 4oz of formula every 2 hours or so, typically consuming 34-36 ounces in 24 hours. Everything I've read says max 32 ounces per 24 hours. Anyone else have a big eater? My daughter was not eating as much/frequently at this age, so just curious.

Answer

4oz every 3 hours

Answer

Mine eats a 4oz bottle and is still hungry! Or hungry an hour later. He is 7 weeks. Definitely eating way more than the average. Hes exclusively breastfed.

Answer

Yes! My son is 5 weeks and he has been eating every hour or two during the day. It’s full on as I’m breastfeeding.
I’ve started to give him a formula bottle in the evening once I’m exhausted from BF

Answer

We’re 6.5 weeks and he’s eating 4 oz every 2-3 hours for a total of around 30-34 oz per 24 hour period. He did seem extra hungry today, not sure if it’s just a growth spurt or if it will continue

Answer

My son eats 5 ounces every 3-4 hours and has been since 4 weeks old (7 weeks now). His doctor doesn’t seemed concerned since his weight is normal.

Answer

My babe kinda leveled out. He’s been drinking 4-4.5 ounces since he was 5 or 6 weeks. He’s 9 weeks and still drinks the same amount of formula ever 2.5-3 hours. Granted there’s a tsp of rice cereal in his bottle now for his reflux (per his pediatricians instructions.)
