How many ounces of formula are you feeding your 2 month old at a time?

hpanabaker · June 2014

I make 6oz. He'll eat anywhere from 3oz to all 6oz.

We're at 5 ozs every 3-4 hours. During the day she does all 5 ozs. At night usually at her midnight or 3 am she will only take 3 ozs. My pedi said around 2 months they are usually at 5 ozs.

He takes 3.5 oz every 2 hours during the day and maybe 4 oz at night. We go to the pedi today for his 2 month appt, so I will find out if he is gaining weight and getting enough.

My girls are 3 mo (but born 5w early) and usually do 4-6oz five to six times/ day.

My lo was born on 5/3, so not quite 2 months, but takes 5 oz every 2-5 hours and sometimes will take a 6oz bottle (well give another oz because he's still hungry)...

My LO is three months and she's at five ounces every 3-4 (getting closer to four now) hours and at bedtime she'll do 6-7 oz

DS is 11 weeks and has 5 oz bottles every 3-3.5 hours. 7 bottles a day so 35 oz. Goes to bed around 7ish, dreamfeed 10:30, wakes 2:30-3, up for day at AM. If no 10:30 dreamfeed he's up about midnight and 4. So we try to feed him before we go to bed so only 1 MOTN waking. Although lately he's only been taking about 3 oz when he first wakes for some reason.

6oz 6 times per day. A little cereal at night for reflux.

My DD is almost 3mths but for the past months she's been right around 20oz per day. She eats 4x a day and STTN. I always make a 4oz bottle to start & sometimes she finishes it & wants more which I keep nearby, sometimes she won't. I was worried she wasn't eating enough as I read a general guide is 2.5oz per pound of body weight. But, her weight it good & she is growing & thriving!

She has recently been increasing this week & had about 25oz yesterday. She drank 8.5oz before bed, I was shocked!!

railroadRN · June 2014

I make 4oz. Sometimes she will only drink 3oz, and sometimes I have to make another 2oz.

katy4128 · June 2014

DS is almost 11 weeks and I start with 6oz and sometimes I have to make more.

sugarrush · June 2014

At 2.5 months, we are between 4-6oz. I start with 4 and if she fusses ill make the extra 2.

fourthnlast · June 2014

Emma drinks about 3oz every 3 hours.

woodstephanie · June 2014

8 weeks and 5 ounces

misskristina21 · June 2014

She drinks 4 oz every 2-3 hrs, except for the bottle right before bed she drinks 6-7oz and then STTN.

KatieGummow · June 2014

Not formula but I do bottle feed them breast milk. They are 10.5 weeks now and take 4-5 oz every 3 hours.

baylorlinda · June 2014

2 months now and only taking 2-3 oz every 2-3 hrs. She will take 4 oz once in a while.

Jenn06L80 · June 2014

My girls are 2.5 months. They have about 18-22 ounces total a day spaced out over 6 bottles. They get a combo of formula and breast milk.

AmberLiz99 · June 2014

Dd gets half pumped bm and half formula, and does a 4oz bottles 7 times in a 24 hour period.

alice928 · June 2014

We do 3.5 oz every 2-3 hours and 4 oz before bed and MOTN feeding is also 4 oz....about 28-29oz/day

JessieAlbin · June 2014

We make 5oz, he does anywhere from 4-5 during the day, sometimes when he's not super hungry but wants to go to sleep with a bottle he'll do less overnight. We usually end up with 4 or 5oz of leftovers in the fridge in the morning after his MOTN feedings

BuggasMom · June 2014

5oz every 3 hrs MOTN feeding 4oz

Boston*bride · June 2014

DS is 7 weeks today and gets 75% pumped breastmilk, the rest formula. He takes 3-4 oz every 2-4 hours. I am trying really, really hard to get this to 4 oz consistently with longer between feedings at the advice of the pedi, but no luck thus far. If anyone has any advice, would love to hear it!
