Mamas with 2 month old FF babies...

klp830

...I know each LO is different, just trying to see how my little man lines up with others.

Carter turned 2 months yesterday on the 7th.

He eats 4 oz formula every 2-3 hrs during the day. And goes for a stretch of 4-6 hrs on 4 oz at night.

So a typical feeding schedule would be something like:

8pm 4 oz

2 am 4 oz

5 am 4 oz

7 am 4 oz

9:30 am 4 oz

11:15 am 4 oz

1:30 pm 4 oz

3:30 pm 4 oz

6:00 pm 4 oz

8:15 4 oz

Up until this week he was going 3 hrs between bottles more often.

We are doing 32-36 oz per day.
How does this compare to others?

DS is 11 weeks. He eats 5oz every 2-3 hours during the day and will sleep 8 hours straight at night. Your schedule sounds about like what mine was doing at 2 months. It's just in the last week or two that he took more than 4oz every 2 hours and started STTN.

Thanks mamas! Makes me feel better, I just Wasnt sure and his 2 month appt is not until the 13th. I tried giving him 5 oz a couple times to see if it would last him longer between feedings but he just spit it up or refused to finish.

My lil man is doing 4oz about every 3-3.5 hrs and just this week he started sleeping longer at night. Last night was 6 hours!!! I'm probably going to start trying 5ozs at a time next week.

Blah! I hate that I'm worries Sloan doesn't eat much but " babies will eat what they need"

Sloan does 2-2.5 oz during the day so from 5a-11 pm every 3-4 hours

Then around 11 she does 3.5 to 4.

She's gaining weight though so I guess it's ok. Just when I hear what others eat at her age ( she's nine weeks) I feel like I'm doing something wrong

M is 7 weeks. 14 lbs. I prep 4 oz every bottle now. I pump, but he only gets like 8-10 oz of BM a day. Most if the time he finishes, sometimes stops at 3oz.

No real schedule, but he eats every 3-4 hours, we have been getting one 5-5 1/2 hour stretch at night.

4-6oz every 2-3 hours during the day. He goes 6-7 hours over night the crappy thing is he goes from 8/9pm until 3/4am wish I could bump him up to 10/11pm so he would go to 5/6am.
