formula feeding

Azwildkat · August 2012

For those that formula fed, how much and how frequently did you feed your 2 month olds? Mine were doing 2 oz every 3hrs and then picked up to 3 oz every 2 hrs the last week and I sometimes find it hard to gage if they are crying because of hunger or something else.

Every 2 hours? I couldn't survive that!

My 6 week old triplets (adjusted age 1 day, yesterday was their due date) just moved to 4 oz every 4 hours. We just moved to this a few days ago, but they seem to be doing well with it. We were doing 3 oz every 3 hours previously.

I think by 2 months we were doing 3-4 oz every 3 hours. We did every 2 hours for about a month and I barely survived that. GL!

This. I remember at that age it was hard to tell if it was hunger or something else because prior to that age they only cried when they were hungry.

My boys are eating 3-4oz every three hours during the day. They both have distinct, "I'm hungry" cries vs any other kind of cry. They also will start ferociously sucking on their hand or anything else in vicinity, and will get mad when their is no milk. I've begun to notice them getting fussier during the day but I think it's boredome. Maybe try putting them on an activity mat or walking them around the house?
