how much is your LO eating?

My daughter 2 1/2 months old, and she eats 4oz every 3-4 hours. I feel as if its not enough for her sometimes. should i bump her intake up 1/2oz or a full oz?

My 2 month old is still doing 4 oz every three hours during the day. This is not always the case. It might be 3 oz one time, 6 the next, or 4 the one after that. Is she gaining appropriately? I would talk to your pedi if you are worried.

You could always try and see if she wants it. What've you got to lose?

dD is 10 weeks today and gets 5.5 ounces every 3 hours during the day and we typically get a 9 hour stretch at night although last night we got a 7 hour stretch

DS is 8 weeks 1 day. He gets 4.5 oz every 3.5 hours, and then a 5oz bottle at bedtime and another at 5 am. We've been getting 6.5 hour stretches at night now. We are also starting to give him 5 oz bottles during the day because he's getting hungrier sooner. When I asked the pedi this question before bumping him up, he just suggested we offer a 1/2 oz at a time and see if he finishes the bottle.

My LO can take anywhere from 3 to 5 oz during the day, every 3.5 hrs. She eats about 5.5 before bed and gives us a good stretch 7 to 8 hrs, and eats 5 oz in the am. She averages 24 oz a day, can go up to 30 according to doc 2.5 oz for every lb she's abt 14.2 at 9 weeks.
