Hungry Baby

in Parenting after 35

All DS does is eat.  Then I coax him to sleep (he's napping next to me on my bed right now). I figured out that he took around 40 oz of formula yesterday (in a 24-hour period).  But I read on BabyCenter that an infant under 4 months needs 2.5 oz per pound and I'm guessing DS weighs around 15 lb. So that would be 37.5 oz  if true.

He spit some of it up due to not burping and a crying fit in the car. But otherwise most stayed down.

I can barely keep up with him. I'm so glad he's formula/bottle fed... I'd never be able to keep up with him if EBF. Oy!

    Wow!  You're going to need an oil tanker full of formula if this keeps up!

    He's an eating machine!

    Those are interesting numbers, re amount per pound. I wonder how much my little chunkster is eating.

    My DS had (and still does) a veracious appetite. Just curious, how tall is your DH? I bet Aaron is going to be big like him which might explain that appetite (?) At least that is my theory with "Mr. Beefy" Stick out tongue

    Imagine our food bill when they're teens!

    My DH is 6'2" and lanky... and apparently almost ate my MIL out of house and home as a teenager. I'm guessing Aaron is just like his daddy.
