6 Week Old Feeding Amount and Schedule?

Just wondering what all you mommies have your babies on at 6 weeks! My daughter seems to be in her growth spurt and I don't know if I should move her up another ounce or two. She is currently on 4 ounces every 4 hours with an ounce snack or two on occasion.  

Re: 6 Week Old Feeding Amount and Schedule?

  • DS eats 3 oz every 2-3 hrs right now during the day and 3.5 to 4 right before bed and during night feedings.

    Mine at 8 weeks, and at 6, is taking 4oz every three hours during the day and its about 4 or 5 hours at night. Sometimes he'll want more but usually the 4oz satisfies him.

    Yes my LO is also taking this much at 6 weeks
  • Mine is almost 8 weeks but he has been taking 6 oz for about 6 weeks now.

    He goes about 3 to 4 hours during the day but goes usually 8 at night, waking around 5 each morning.

     

  • At 6 weeks my son was taking 4 oz every 3 hours.  When he hit his growth spurt he was eating 4 oz every 2 hours.  Uping the oz every 3 hours didn't help he wanted to eat the same just more often.

     He is 8 weeks now and some times he wants the 4 oz earlier than the 3 hour mark and after his long night sleep he will take 6 oz in the morning.
