Babies: 0 - 3 Months

How much/how often is your 6 week old eating?

We were doing 3 oz every 2-3 hours, but it might be time to up the oz and spread out the time between feedings, not sure. What is your 6 week old doing??

  • We were and still are doing 4oz every 3 hours.  At night he seems to be able to go one 4 hour stretch still on the same amount.  Hoping that will get longer soon!

  • Well my LO isn't 6 weeks but almost a month and he's eating 3.5 - 4 oz every 2-3 hours.
  • DS is seven weeks but he's been doing this the past week or so - 5 oz every 3 - 4 hours.  Just in the past two nights he's done longer stretches.
  • i have twins and they are eating about 2-3 oz every 3-4 hours, but they are still small...just about 8 lbs and just about 7 lbs.  i was concerned too that they weren't eating enough, but their tummies have to get bigger!
  • DS is 2mths, he takes 4-6oz every 3-4hrs.  Sometimes he goes longer, we have started adding some baby cereal to his formula at night, it helps him go a little longer at night.  he still doesnt sleep through the night, but we're getting there.  Smile
  • DS will be 7 weeks tomorrow but for the past week he's been doing 4.5-5oz every 4 hours during the day and 5-6 hours at night. He usually eats between 28-32oz per 24 hours
