Ounces

Hi Moms,

How many ounces of BM/formula are your little ones drinking out of bottle? I am breat feeding and had to switch to bottle due to latch issue and daughter is drinking 3-3.5oz...is this a lot?

    check this weeks feeding check in thread. or the formula thread.
    also this is way too little info to determine an answer. or you could even check the flame free friday questions and ask this there. :) you will get answers if you go to one of those threads.

    ok now nobody else respond to this.
    (please dont take the redirection offensively, we just like to keep everything in its place here.)

    Not sure if too much or not (its based on age assuming all else is normal I think), but just reminds me...make sure the baby is more apright when you give the bottle. When babies are given the bottle while laying down, they can't control the flow of milk and can get too much. Figure I'd mention it just in case.

  • Ummm NO compared to my sumo baby who can eat 8oz every 2 hours I had him checked by the doctor and was told could be because of the steroids I was given in the hospital sped up his growth which I know it did because he has been holding his head up since the day he was born
