How many oz. and other new Mom question?

I have a DD that is almost 3 but I do not remember how much she ate.How much did your twins eat around 1.5-2 weeks old.If it makes a difference they are FF and are 7 pounds and 6.3 pounds each.

Also at what point did you only wake them to eat during the day but let them wake up on their own at night to feed?

 

TIA

    We continued to wake them to eat every three hours until after their 4 week check up.  Our pediatrician said it was fine, fwiw they were 5lbs7oz and 5lbs9oz at birth. Now they are 11 weeks and I still feed them every three hours during the day (4oz) but then go from 9pm-6am at night. For their adjusted age they started sttn at 5 weeks, 9 weeks real time.

    they were eating about 2oz a feed those first 2-3 weeks.  Then they slowly upped the amount they wanted.

    We were feeding every 2-3 hours and never had to wake to feed because they woke up demanding food.

    About 2- 2.5 oz at that age.  We fed every 2-3 hours during the day. We let them sleep at night from the beginning, but like PP me mentioned they woke up demanding food. If one woke at night we woke the other until about 12 weeks or so.

    Yep - I'd say 2 oz a feeding and I fed every three hours during the day (thought they would cluster feed in the evening some) and then let them wake up on their own at night though if one woke up we fed the other.
