How many ounces are BF two months old drinking?

vermont7 · June 2012

We EBF and I have just started pumping an occasional bottle. LO eats every 2-3 hours, night and day. I think he may only drink about 2 ounces, maybe 3. What are other LO's drinking if you know?

When I left her with bottles, she took about 10oz in 9 hours. Generally 3oz every 3 hours, but DH said one bottle she took in 2 snacks

When I pump a bottle, I usually offer her half of it first. Then if she wants more, we give her more. it ranges, but it's been 4-5 oz. When I did a weighted feed - she ate about 2.5 oz a few weeks ago. So it definitely ranges!

I wad just going to ask this. DH is going to try to give her a bottle today for the first time and I have no idea how much to put in there. I pumped a little over 6 oz this morning so I just split it in half. I hope it works out.

I was going to ask this three!

I EP, so I've been interested to see what others do. We just started giving her 4 oz bottles instead of 3, and she is drinking it all most of the time, usually every 3-4 hours.

4oz here too.

Man. I feel like my little guy is a pig! He's eating about 5oz from a bottle..usually every 3 hours. Although I usually only do 1-2 bottles a day and the rest BF.

My LO is only a month but last week we tried giving her 3 oz and she was hungry 2 hours later and never acted satisfied. Today I gave her 4 oz and she seemed better, we will see if she lasts her normal 3-3.5 hours during the day.

I'm sending 4-4oz BM bottles to LO's daycare, and she finishes them all in a 10hr period. It ranges how often she eats, on avg every 2.5-3hrs.

She usually takes about 3 or 3.5 oz when she gets a bottle. Our pedi told us at 2 months she should be eating 3-4 oz every 3-4 hours....she is more like every 2-3 hours though.

The few times he has had a bottle he takes 4 oz.

JaimeG183 · June 2012

I've also heard about 1 oz an hour.

LO eats every 2 hours, when we do weighted feeds at lactation, he gets about 2-3 oz. I try to give him 3 oz in a pumped bottle but I usually get that much combined (between 3-5 oz)

2-4 depending, she only takes a night time bottle right before bed
