RSV feeding

Ladies... So as many of you have been following LO is in the hospital with RSV and she has a feeding tube. The pedi said they won't discharge her until she can eat 20-22oz a day by bottle. She has NEVER eaten that much. What are your LOs eating per day??

Re: RSV feeding

  • She is 3 months and eats 20-24 oz in 5-6 feeds a day.

  • LO eats between 24-30ozs of breastmilk per day.

     I'm not sure if you are formula feeding or pumping milk but I know that Kelly mom says that LO's usually peak at 24-30oz's per day and stay at that until about 6 months where they may start to decrease their intake.

    We just got discharged after he did 12oz in 24 hours. Normally he eats 36-40oz per day at 3 minths
  • I expressed my concerns to them about it being way to much for her to tolerate. So they took her feeding tube out (yay) and she ate 3oz on her own. That's huge for her right now! Yay!! We are going to demand feed her and see how much she eats in 24 hrs and hopefully we can come home soon :)
