Amount to feed??

NYENYE member

How much are you feeding DS per feeding and how much in total a day?  I am currently pumping because of jaundice and I don't think he is eating enough?

5 days old

    I suggest asking this on the BF board; but I think most people go more by wet/dirty diapers than actual amount consumed. GL!

    My pediatrician told me to go by weigh. If you baby weighs 3kg (if yours DS is weighed that way) then he needs to be eating about 3oz every 3 hours. If you go by pounds then its 2oz per pound per day. Hopefully this helps.

    My dr told me (at 3days old) to shoot for 30ml (a little over an ounce) every 2-3 hours. By 5 days he ate that about every 2 hours. Now at 2.5 weeks, he is eating 2-4 ounces every 2-3 hours... But like pp said, paying attwntion to weight and wet/dirty diapers is more important.

    DD is 9 days old and takes 3oz (formula) every 3-4 hours.
