Re: How many ounces of formula

  • 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 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!!

  • 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
  • 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
  • 5oz every 3 hrs MOTN feeding 4oz
  • 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!
