EBFers: how often does your LO eat and...

Kingston54 · April 2013

How old are they?

Also if you feed a bottle of expressed milk, how many ounces do you give them?

I realize all these things vary from baby to baby but trying to get an idea of what's normal since I seem to have forgot everything from my DS :

Thanks in advance!

This is just an estimate since I don't feed on a strict schedule, but DD nurses about every 3 hours and she's 20 weeks. (4 1/2 months). I work on weekends, so DH gives her pumped milk 3 oz at a time, once every two hours unless she's still hungry then he'

In the month and a half I've been back to work we've gone from 3, 4oz bottles to 3, 5oz bottles every 3-4 hours. He was just shy of three months then and is now 4.5 months. My supply took a bit of a dip when I returned to work so I try to nurse every 2-3

LO nurses 8-9 times a day, but the timing varies depending on the time of day. She refuses bottles.

kjsmith9 · April 2013

During the week she eats a 3.5oz bottle from DH before daycare, and then four 3.5oz bottles between 7 and 3:30pm. She usually nurses 2-3 times in the evening, and once overnight (but sometimes sleeps through the night).

We started at 3oz bo

Our pedi wants LO to take in at least 24 ounces in a 24 hour period. She's 4 months and takes 3- 5oz bottles while at daycare( around 9:00,12:00, & </spa

DS is 4 months, he has taken a bottle like 3 times and he ate 5 oz each time. He eats about every 2-3 hours during the day and just started STTN 3 nights ago. So he probably eats about 6-8 times a day.

Almost 4 months and she eats like 8 times a day. She probably eats about 3-4 ounces at a time. From what I've read breastfed babies don't really change how much they eat until they start solids because breast milk changes to meet their needs in the same a

Every 2-3 hours during the day. She sleeps through the night mostly, but sometimes wakes up once to feed. Won't take a bottle. She is above average.... 85 percentile.

DS is 15 weeks and eats every 3 hours, give or take, around the clock. Wen I'm at work DH gives him 4 oz of pumped milk every 3 hrs.

I'm new to this board as DD is just at the 3 month mark in 5 days actually she's only been doing 6 feedings a day and will take 5oz bottles during the day while I am at work. She gets 3 bottles and nurses 3 times on work days. Sometimes I will sneak in on

DS is almost 5.5 months and I nurse him every 2-3 hours during the day (I'm SAHM). He STTN from 8p-6a. I nurse him when he gets up at 6a, then before and after the morning nap and early afternoon nap. For the late afternoon nap, I nurse

He nurses every 2-3 hrs. At night when DH is home, he gives him a 7 oz bottle before bed and a 7 oz bottle when he wakes at 1 am. When he's not home, I nurse before bed and do the 7 oz bottle for his nightly feeding. He went from waking 3-4 times a night
