Bottle Feeder Poll

I'm curious how much BM or formula our little raptors are throwing back ( obviously each baby is different in terms of appetite/age, so this is just a curiosity poll)

i forgot to add "SS/My raptor eats the bottle too often to get an accurate number"

B eats about 4.5-5 oz every 3 hours during the day then one 6 oz bottle with cereal before bed

When I was EBF, he ate every 1.5 hours. Now that he's EFF, he eats every 2 hours. Yay for progress? I wish he could make it 3 hours without screaming for food.

Now that we are ff and can see how much he eats, he's eating 4 ounces and making it just about 3 hours in between. Sometimes he needs a little snack in there and his bedtime bottle tends to be closer to 5-6 ounces, but he won't take that much regularly.

Pumper here... 3-4 oz every 3ish hours. Sometimes they like to snack and we'll give them an ounce or two.

They get formula at bedtime and get 4 oz before bed and 2-3 oz for MOTN. Depends on what they want.

3-4.5oz every 4 hours while awake

4-4.5 oz during the day but 5-6 oz for her morning bottle. No feedings overnight.

This exactly.

DD would eat approximately twelve million ounces if given the opportunity. She will usually settle for 4-5 every three hours during the day. She is only five lbs lighter than DS...I'm sort of afraid of her.

I'm EBF but when I pump I give roughly 3 oz every 2 hours with a 5-6 hour stretch at night.

lest12 · August 2014

I'm EBF so I have no idea. I'm really curious though. We did 1 weighted feeding and it was 2 oz but I think he eats more than that usually.

6oz of breast milk every 4hrs during the day. Sleeps through the night.

coffee89 · August 2014

When we give him a bottle it is 3oz breast milk and he is good for about 2 hours after. He eats every 2-3 hours off the breast during the day and is sleeping through the night aside from an occasional small snack around 5am.

My chunk is FF 5 oz every 3 hours usually more like 2.5 hours but she sleeps from 11am-3pm (usually missing 1 bottle) and at night she has a bottle with cereal and sleeps 9-630 up for 2oz and sleeps till 9/10am

The way I see it is she may drink a lot but she also sleeps through a few bottles so it probably evens out

twistsandturnsto2 · August 2014

We are at 4.5 oz about every 2 hours during the day. We usually can get, at the very least 4 hour stretches at night and getting a 6-9 hour stretch is becoming more common! :::knocks wood:::

Parker takes 3-4oz breastmilk in a bottle every 2-3 hrs, but at night will sleep 6-7 hours. I'm not sure how much he gets when he nurses, but guessing close to the same.
