How much is your 16 week old eating each feeding?

Question

My baby girl is constantly hungry and is already eating 6 oz every 3 hrs but she barely makes it to the 3 hour mark. But doctor doesn’t recommend increasing her amount because of her age. Anyone else’s baby eating more than that??

Answer

Is this for breastmilk or formula? 
My son is getting 4.5oz every 2.5-3 hours of breastmilk

Answer

Omg I feel like my daughter is the only one drinking 8 oz 😳 we do combo breastfeeding/formula feeding

Answer

My dr advised putting the rice cereal in My sons milk and now he sleeps through the night and is always full. Maybe check with your dr to see if that would be something you could do.

Answer

My son is the same way. Barely makes it 2.5 hrs before he’s hungry again. But yet he sleeps through the night. I give him 6-7 oz at every feed and he either takes it all or stops short with an oz to spare. You may try increasing it at a couple feeds and see if you have any formula remaining. Seems like it is all trial and error at this point.

Answer

3-4oz ever 3ish hours, but sometimes wants a bit extra here and there, I just feed her when shes hungry so she has no set schedule on feeding, sometimes is 4oz, sometimes it's just an oz xx

Answer

I’d love my daughter to drink more. She’s currently 16 weeks, drinks between 3-5 oz every feed (total from 21-25 oz per day only). I feel like I’m doing something wrong because she was born 8 pounds 11 but only weighs nearly 15 pounds now. What formula are you feeding her? I’m giving cow and gate number one. Also my daughter has colic (on infacol) and reflux (on omeprazole) which she absolutely hates taking. Be happy your baby loves milk, definitely increase if she’s not going the full 3 hours x

Answer

This is my son too!!! He screaMs like he’s staving omg I feel like ppl keep posting my thoughts.

Answer

Mine eats about every 2 hours during the day, but goes for 8-10 hours without a night feed. Eats between 4-6 oz each time, sometimes only 2 or 3 in the mornings
She is 17 weeks 1 day
