Re: How much does formula does your baby eat?
Until he started teething last week, he was eating 6 ounces every 3-4 hours (30 ounces a day) except overnight (usually sleeps 6-8 hours without a feeding).
Now he is eating 3-4 ounces every 3 hours (more if I give him Tylenol before a feeding).
Robbie gets breastmilk but he eats about 3oz every 3 hours. He'll usually go 4 hours at night. Occasionally he'll go 5 but that's rare and usually I feed him at 4 hour anyway. He eats ~20oz/day. He's 9 1/2 pounds now.
Per Dr. Sears they should get 2-2.5oz/pound/day.
