Babies: 0 - 3 Months

FF: How much/often is your baby eating?

DS is almost 1 month old and only eats about 2.25oz every 2 to 4 hours (average is about 3 hours).  I've recently increased it to 2.5oz today since on the similac mailing it says 1 to 3 months old should be 5 to 6 feedings a day of about 4 to 5 ounces. we are nowhere near that.

You?

  • We are pretty much the same about 2oz every 2-3 hours except first thing in the morning when she'll have about 4-6oz. We average about 20-25oz/24 hours and she's gaining weight fine so I'm not worried.

  • DS typically eats 4 ounces every 2-3 hours. Sometimes he'll fall asleep after  2-3 ounces though. He's averaging 25 ounces in a 24 hour period.

  • Yes at his last pedi appointment last week he was gaining weight fine so I didn't feel the need to count his intake or time his feedings.  But I've noticed a few times a day he'll go 4 or 5 hours sleeping in between feedings and wonder if that's too much sleeping and if he's not eating enough given those large gaps.

  • We are at 4oz every 4 hours. She will sometimes go 6 hours one stretch in the night. I am not sure if I should give her more at that time when she wakes up or not. But she seems to be gaining and doing well.

  • LO eats on demand. Sometimes we can make it 3 hrs, but usually 2hrs.?she will eat about 2.5-4 hrs everytime she eats... Her intake ranges from 24-30 ounces in a 24 hr period. LO is formula fed... She will go 7-8 hr streches at night to sleep, she will wake up and eat 4.4 ounces, then back to sleep for 4 hrs.

  • My LO is just over 2 weeks and he eats 2-3 ounces every 3 hours or so. Sometimes he goes 2 hours and he's starving and sometimes he will go almost 4 hours. I tend to feed him 2 ounces during the day and 2 1/2 sometimes 3 at night so he sleeps a little longer
