how many ounces is your LO eating and how often? i EP and my LO is eating 4.5oz every 3 hours. my mom says he should be eating around 6? ive tried giving him more to see if maybe he would stretch to 4 hours, but he always stops at 4.5

    DD eats between 4.5 - 5 oz every three hours. As long as LO is gaining weight and is having sufficient wet diapers, you're fine. No need to force feed your baby.

    DS will be 3 months next Tuesday, and he has been eating about 6 oz every 3 hours since he was 6 weeks. Sometimes he can eat 8 oz even. He's a porker.

    DS isn't quite 2 months and is up to 5 oz. every 3 hours or so.  Each baby is different, like PP said, as long as they are gaining weight and have enough wet diapers you are fine.  Smile

    yeah, he's 17 pounds-90 percentile, so the weight is definitely ok. :)

    DD BF most of the time, but when she does take a bottle it is usually only 3 to 4 oz. But, she also still eats every two hours during the day. She STTN.

    DS takes 5-6 oz every 4-6 hours.  Don't force feed your LO.  Let him eat what he wants.

    I heard some place LO should be eating 30 oz per day by 15 LBS. 

    If your LO is healthy then your fine.

    Mine actually decided last weekend that he only wanted to eat 1.5-2oz every 3 hours or so! This is coming from a kid who ate 4-5oz every 2 hours! This is less than what he ate as a nb. Went to the pedi and they ruled out pretty much anything that could be wrong. They said sometimes babies do this and as long as they don't have a fever, barfing, etc, to just leave him be
