How many ounces for 2 week old?

Hi everyone  -  

My daughter turned 2 weeks yesterday and I have been mainly breastfeeding but pumping as well.  She eats very well when BF but I have to leave some bottles on Wednesday.   I'm not sure how many ounces to give her.  Last week I gave her 2.5 and she seemed to fine with it.  But I'm thinking I should increase it.  

How many ounces do you think I should give her?   Also, any good website that you recommend that I can follow?

 

Thanks!

How many feedings a day does she have?  You might try kellymom.com's milk calculator: https://www.kellymom.com/bf/pumping/milkcalc.html#calculator

Thanks for the site.  I used the calculator.   She feeds 8 times a day.

My DS ate 3oz, 3x a day about that age.

ETA: I mean 3oz every 3 hours...I really do feed my LO more than 3x a day

At that age, their tummies are very small so they eat often (which you know!) and don't eat much each time.  I would probably just leave several bottles with 2-3 oz each and have your baby-sitter feed her every 2-3 hours. 

P.S. Congrats on your little one!!
