How much is LO eating?

Sparks in training! · May 2012

How much is your LO eating per feeding and times per day?

When I am home, I EBF and cant really keep tabs. I pump (5oz per breast/10Mins) while at work so that LO has that when i am gone.

Yesterday DH fed him 14 oz within 8 hours. It seemed like a lot to me, especially because when we BR that lasts only about ten mins and he is full.

My LO is 5 weeks old today. He weighs 8 lbs 14 oz. He eats 3 oz every 3 hours (8 times per day). So, 24 ounces total. He gets a combo of formula and breast milk. I am pumping (due to low supply and not knowing how much he is getting), so he gets 1 ounce of breast milk and 2 ounces of formula at each feeding.

My son is 2 months old today. He weighs 14 pounds, 2 ounces and takes 4 ounces of formula every three hours. The only exception is after his long sleeping stretch, which lasts 7 or 8 hours. In that case he usually takes 6 ounces and goes right back to sleep.

DS is 2 months old today too. He weighs 14lbs 6.5oz and eats 6oz usually every 4 hours and sleeps through the night (10-12 hours). He only has about 4 bottles a day now (we had to add rice cereal for reflux issues) so about 24oz throughout the day.
