Feeding enough?

Question

Hi mamas! I hope you are all doing well, staying safe and healthy. FTM here, how much are you feeding your LOs? My son is 15 weeks and is 15 lbs. glow app says babies per day should eat 2.5oz x their weight. If I follow that suggestion, that means I should be feeding my son approx. 37 ounces per day.  Currently, he is taking 24-30 ounces per day.  Am I feeding him enough? Thanks in advance!

Answer

If he seems satisfied, and happy I would not worry. Ever baby grows at there own pace, if your concerned talk to the doctor (even just over the phone). My little girl is breast feed so I have no idea how much she is getting. I was worried because she just eats for a super short time and can go awhile between feedings but, she is happy , satisfied and growing.

Answer

If he has enough wet and dirty diapers then that is a sign he is eating enough

Answer

My baby is 12 weeks old and 15 lbs. She eats 30 oz of formula a day or 8 feedings.

Answer

My son is the same size and some days he eats 37 oz but a lot of days it’s closer to 24 to 30.  I think watching his cues is a better indication of hunger than counting ounces.

Answer

My LO is 3 months and he gets between 30-35 ounces a day
