How much does your little one drink?

My babe will be 3 weeks on Wednesday and he drinks 2 oz at the start of feeding, between 50-60 ml.. He does poop every single time while feeding and sometimes wants more after. So I then give 10-20 ml some time after and he’s good. He also eats every hour now!! Unless he’s sleeping. Anyone else’s baby eats this much? Is it too much? Hungry boy status! 😅

He might be cluster feeding. Which is completely normal. My daughter is 2 weeks 3 days and she eats between 2-3oz per feeding.

Mine will be 4 weeks Thursday and she can either eat up to four oz in one feeding and then want two more within an hour 🤦🏼‍♀️ I feel so worried cause I’m scared I’m feeding her too much but she doesn’t throw it up and she’s content after

My baby girl will be 3 weeks tomorrow and she is eating 2.75 oz at each feeding. Day time feedings I feed her every 3 hours, and nighttime feeds are 3-3.5 hours.

oh god I’m so sleep deprived I legit read that as 7.25 oz at each feeding and I was going to say that is a hell of a lot to be eating at that little 😂😂🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

you’re not the only one sleep deprive I get my days and nights mixed up just like the baby

if I’m gonna be honest all these days blur together I have no idea what day it is, hell last week I checked and saw it was Tuesday and I swear the world came crashing down, I had no idea what day it was but sure didn’t think it was a Tuesday

I feel like my baby is over eating I mean she is 10.10 pounds 🙃 she eats 3-4 every 2-3 hours but we have changed that recently because she’s been cluster feeding! So now we feed her one oz every hour she’s asleep If that makes sense

My son is 8days old and drinks 3.5oz every feeding. He feeds every 2hrs.

My almost 3 week old drinks 3oz

😂😂 I mean, she may be able to eat that much. She does act deprived at every feeding 😂 but thankfully she doesn't because there is no way I can pump that much to keep up with that demand!! 😂

Avatar

i give her breastmilk during the day and formula at night cause formula holds her over a little longer but man let me say I cannot pump enough to hold her over during day feedings lol

Avatar

My babe is 3.5 weeks and she takes 4 oz every feed. Didn't know something so small could eat so much 😬

Avatar

How often are the feeding?! Every hour or 2-3?!

Avatar

2-3 hours, when she's sleeping at night, every 4-5 hours

Avatar

my baby is almost 3 weeks and eat up to 4 oz per feeding and eats every 2-3 hours

Avatar

3 weeks my daughter drinks about 2 and a half oz per feed judging by how much I can manage to pump rn

Avatar

My son is three weeks eats every 4-5 hours and it’s 3-4 oz - ob said he’s doing great

Avatar

wow reading these comments make me feel so much better.. my babygirl is 2 weeks and change and she’s eating 4.5oz every 3-4 hours (sometimes longer at nighttime) and some people act like thats an extraordinary amount 😕

Avatar

trust me, her doctor would let you know if she was gaining too much weight or anything. you’re doing great mamas! 💚

Avatar

My baby is 10 days old eating about 1.5-2 ounces every 2-3 hours. Most time she can sleep for 4-5 hours. That’s usually around the time she eats 2 ounces. Sometimes I feel like I’m over feeding her, because she does spit up a lot. But I don’t know, she’s a bit different than how my boys were

Avatar

Almost 2 weeks old. 2-3oz at a time. Every 2-4 hours

Avatar

Wow!! Everyone’s doing wonderful mommas! Wait until the cluster feeding! He has me on my toes… come back to me when they cluster feed also! I’d love to know what the cute chunky babies are eating 🤍
