My baby is a vacuum cleaner!

Zachary is going to be 7 weeks old this week and he is eating 6 to 8 oz of formula every 3 to 5 hours!!! He is a little vacuum cleaner!!

He was 9lb 6oz at birth and weighed in at nearly 12lb at his 1 month check up. He is getting so big! Can't believe how fast he is growing....

  • Wow! Go Zachary! Riley has just started drinking 7-8 oz at a time in the past month or so. It sound like he is going to be a great eater!

  • sounds like a growth spurt! Zoe's never taken more than 7oz at a time!
  • I think it is a growth spurt too! He just consistently wants more more more! We go to the doctor in another week and a half, so I will ask about his eating habits then. He seems to be very healthy... he just LOVES his bottles!! LOL!

  • Our babies are sooo similar! It must be because they were both big at birth! Nadia is drinking 6 ounces every 3 hours. I am trying to hold her there, but I really think she would drink 7-8 ounces if I gave it to her! We also have an appt next wednesday and I am going to ask the pedi what to do then. She is a very hungry hungry baby!
  • Mari, we seriously need to get our big babies together!! If you ever want to have a play date, let me know. My email addy is karen@karenlisa.com.

    Z was 11lb 9oz at his 1 month appointment. I am dying to find out how much he weighs now. He is fitting solidly into 3 month outfits and is growing out of most of his 0-3 onesies. He is getting to be such a little chubster, but is oh so cute! I wonder if his weight gain is going to slow down. I am also going to ask the pedi what to do about his feeding habits when we go to his appointment in a week and a half.

  • feed your babies as a much as they want.

    Nate was 11lbs8oz at his one month appointement and he was only born at 7lbs14oz, it never crossed my mind to altar his eating habits, he's a baby, that is all he is suppose to do.

    Weight gain slows down alot after 6 months, thank goodness or nate would already weight 100lbs. He is 26+lbs at almost a year, he is chubby (not fat) and healthy and I feed him as much as he wants!

  • Woohoo for your good eater! Don't let anyone tell you he is too fat. Babies are supposed to be chunky. Its where the term "baby fat" comes from.
