Eating enough?

My LO is a month old, but wasn't due till the 28th of this month, she's eating 2-4oz every 2-3 hours during the day and every 3-4 at night. Is this a normal amount or should she be eating more? How much are everyone's LO eating and how often?

Re: Eating enough?

  • That sounds good/average to me but it does depend on how much she weighs. I've heard for a 24 hr period, 2.5oz for every pound they weigh is a good minimum benchmark. I don't remember what mine were eating at a month old (they are 4 mos now) - sorry, mommy brain!
  • Also, if she is having plenty of wet diapers a day, that is a good sign.
