How much did/does your LO eat at 1-2 weeks old?

I am just wondering if we keep feeding til they are full? I think they are getting around 2oz every 2 hrs and then at night a little more so they can sleep 3 hrs.

Thanks!

Melissa ?

Yeah, do keep feeding till they are full. At that age ours were eating anywhere from 2-4 oz, about 8 times a day. (The 4 oz was a little unusual for that age though; one DS even had 5.5 oz at one feeding when he was 10 days old; the pedi said she'd never heard of that! But DH, who did the feeding, insisted he was still giving hungry cues!)

that sounds about right.  About 3-4 wks they were up to 3-3.5 oz and now they are at 4.5-5 oz and have been for about 2 wks or so.

Well, I was mostly bfing, but when giving a bottle they almost never took more than 3oz at that age. Mostly 2-3.
