how many oz of BM does your 3 week old eat?

dbos99 · January 2010

DH currently gives DS a bottle for his midnight feeding. We had been giving him about 2oz of milk and then recently increased to 2.5. However, according to DH, DS always still seems hungry. I guess last night he gave him a little more, so it was probably total around 3oz.

I was just wondering how much everyone else gives their 3 week old. I pump about once or twice a day and barely produce more than 2oz total. I am worried that I won't be able to keep up with pumping for this nightly feeding, let alone start a freezer stash.

TIA!

We started bottle feeding at 3 weeks and for her first bottle I did 3 oz and she still seemed hungry. I upped it to 4 oz and she is still taking 4 oz at her bottle feeding at 5 weeks. I might up it soon but she still seems content with 4 oz.
