How much are you FF?

MarSamWhitney

I know all babies are different, but I am mostly curious.  Whitney is a little over 13 weeks old, and we are at about 5 1/2 - 6 oz a feeding.  She gets up for the day at 7 am, and eats about every three hours, until bed time at 10pm, in which she will generally STTN, occasionally get up at 4am to eat.

Thanks! :-)

DS gets 5 oz a feeding. He eats every 2.5 to 3 hours. He's been spitting up, so I cut back a little, but then he's screaming like he's starving.

DD is about the same as yours at 16wks. She still wakes up at least once a night to eat though. Sometimes twice.

DS gets 4 8oz bottles in the 24 hour period (9oz after is mixed)

Sophee gets 6-7 oz every 3 ounces until she goes to sleep, usually between 8-9 (sometimes 10). She sleeps through the night and get first bottle of the morning between 7-8 am.

Lil C gets 4-5 bottles a day that are about 7 oz each, then cereal in the morning, 1/2 to full jar of level 2 food in afternoon, then he may have a little banana at my moms in afternoon if he wakes up from sleep early, and a couple of tablespoons of cereal mixed with veggies at 630.

Wow, when I thought about the times that he actually gets a bottle I realized he gets one less bottle a day than we were actually calculating. I am NOT overfeeding my kid afterall. Stupid DH for making me worry.

Ok, sounds like a wide array of things, which makes me feel good! I was just concerned I was over feeding, but she is not spitting up much.  I hate trying to read signals and figure out when to increase.

I usually don't increase until DD sucks every ounce of a certain amount at every feeding or gets upset when the bottle is gone.

DD is taking 8 oz bottles every 4 hours and about a tbsp of rice cereal with her 2nd bottle around lunch time. We just went to 8 oz and she doesn't always drink all of it but still more than the 7 oz she was getting. I think she was eating about 6 oz every 3-3.5 hours at 13 weeks. She is sleeping from about 8pm to 730 am without any bottles at night.

He takes 6 - 6 oz bottles/day. He gets one when he wakes up between 5:30 and 7, takes 3 during the day at day care, takes one in the evening, and takes one overnight. Sometimes he'll squeeze a 7th bottle in there too.

I was concerned about overfeeding as well (a NP told me that he shouldn't be getting more than 32oz/day), but our pedi says that his growth has been consistent percentage wise so not to worry about the amounts.

That's almost exactly what we do. C gets 5oz bottles and every now and then he gives us the cue that he wants more and we make him another 2nd bottle. We also do rice cereal in his nighttime bottle because his reflux.

DD will be 13 weeks/3 months on Sunday. She's been eatting 5oz every 3 hours, but we are increasing it as of today. She's been getting hungry earlier and earlier lately, so we are going up to 6oz. She either STTN (9-7:30), or gets up for one feeding around 3am.
