How much does baby eat?

Question

How much does your baby eat at 2-3weeks old?

Answer

I have no idea because I'm breastfeeding but it does seem like my son is constantly eating.

Answer

My lil Princess eat a lot. She eats so much I stop keeping track. Certain things she does let’s me know she’s hungry..

Answer

I went to a lactation center for an appointment and from what they said my babygirl was eating around 2-3 oz at 1 week old. they weighed her before I fed her and after I fed her & that’s how they came up with that. It may be harder to tell unless you can weigh your baby at home!

Answer

I don’t count oz because I breastfeed on demand so when they ask, they eat. 24hrs a day. But if I’ve left for an evening and someone is giving pumped milk - the general “rule” is minimum 1oz per hour. So 3-4oz (or more if baby is asking for it) bottle every 3hrs.

Answer

My boy is 2 weeks exactly, and eats 3 - 3.5 oz per feeding. He’s eating during the day about every 2 - 3 hours (sometimes he’ll nap longer, though). And then he’ll eat around midnight before I go to bed and sleep through the night (I wake up around 6am).
He’s been only gaining weight at each of his appointments (we saw the doctor at 5 days old, then again the following week at 12 days old).

Answer

I usually bf but always keep a bottle on hand in case I go out or something comes up. She turn 4weeks today and is taking 2.5-3 oz from the bottle. I have to keep in mind that all babies are different and premies may not take on as much for the first few months.

Answer

My son is currently eating 3 oz every 2-3 hours. Sometimes he’ll seem hungry still, and I’ll give him another ounce. He currently has a cold that ran through our house, so I’m trying to keep him hydrated, so I don’t try to push feedings far. He’s 2w4d old today.
