Feeding poll...

How much are/did your babies eat at 2 months  old? Mine eat 6 oz every 4 hours. DH is worried they aren't getting enough, but I told him that they'd definately let us know if they wanted more (and occasionally they do want more)

well....mine doesn't count well since at 2 months old they were still -1wk adjusted. At 2 months old my baby that was home was taking about 2 oz every 4 hours. Now he takes 3oz 6x/day. He sleeps thru the night, but makes up with cluster feeds during the day. He gains about an ounce a day. I won't even tell you what my littler baby takes....it's such a sad little amount.

ANYWAY...your babies will tell you what they want, it really depends on their weight..not so much the age. BTW - its better for them to eat smaller amounts more often rather than large amounts spaced further apart....for reflux that is.

They'll let you know if they want more.  My boys are eating 6 oz every 4 hours at 4 months old and are STTN.  I wouldn't worry aboutit unless they are fussing.

They are 1 month adjusted, but I hate thinking of them that way, but the hospital put them on a 4 hour feeding schedule and the pediatrician told us that they could eat however much they want.

Every baby is so different, At 2 months my girls were taking only 2-3oz evey 3 hrs and then 4 oz at 3 months. I started giving one bottle a day to my son in the last few weeks to get an idea of how much he takes and he usually finishes 5oz.
