How much does your 10 week old eat?

melaniedel · November 2011

I am still giving him 4 oz bottles, but he offten has two of them at his night feedings (sleeps 8-3 or 4am) and usually drinks every drop during the day. When did you switch to 8 oz bottles?

How often do they eat? Mine is still around every 3 hours, but wondering if thats bc I'm using 4oz bottles. I tried 8oz bottles a few weeks ago and felt like it made his colicky hours much worse, but may have been a coincidence. We have fewer of those kind of nights and afraid to mess with whats working!

How much does he weigh? Mine is 12lbs.

My LO is 11 weeks now, but has been on 5 oz since she was 9 weeks. She eats every 4 hours and STTN (8 hours).

I never purchased the 4 oz bottles because I knew I would have to purchase more so I purchased the 8 oz Dr. Brown's bottles from the beginning so we didn't have an added expense.

DD weighed 11 lbs 14 oz at her 2 month appt a few weeks ago.

Rostin is only 9 weeks old but has been a big boy since birth (9 lbs 7 oz) we just recently went to his two month appt and the pedi said to up him to 5-6 oz of breastmilk each time, when i had been only doing 4 oz..he weights 14 lbs 11 oz right now- so i think switching to the larger bottles now is fine. I also use the 8 oz Dr Browns bottles like the above poster. I'm jealous though-he still nurses every 3-4 hours and doenst sleep any longer than that at night!

My little guy drinks 7 ounces every 3 hours and is right around 12 pds. He's been STTN 8:30pm we start our bedtime routine and he usually sleeps till 7am. He eats about 5 times per day 35 ounces.
