How many ounces is your baby on?

My boy is 15 weeks old and he was last weighed 3 weeks ago at 15lb exact! He’s drinking 7oz bottles every 4/5 hours, he probably has around 42oz a day but that seems too much?? He cries when the bottle finishes and I’ve introduced him to a couple of mouthfuls of baby rice but he just isnt satisfied?? Greedy baby or am I doing something wrong

Mine has around 900 ml - 1 liter, so 30-33 oz at 15 weeks.

He is beautiful every baby is so diff my LG is the same age and is 12lbs and gets 4oz every 4 hours (she’s not a great eater tho) don’t worry I think you’re doing everything you can we worry as mums in everything we do x

My boy is on 3x 9oz bottles a day (hungry baby milk) aswell as 2x 120-160g of food x

My boy is 15 weeks and takes about the same, he has started crying now and again after a bottle so I put his last bottle to 8oz.

My baby is 18 weeks and has 5oz every 3 hours, sometimes will have 6oz but seems to always leave an oz if I offer 6! Currently 16.1lbs so doing well ☺️ every baby is different xx

I had to switch my little boy to hungry baby at 2 months old. He is now on porridge for breakfast purreed veg or heinze dinner porridge for lunch and sometimes a rusk before bed and he has 3-4 7 ounce bottles a day but he sleeps 12 hours in the night and is healthy and happy. He weighs 16lb 5oz.
He is a very hungry baby 😂

My little girl is 17 weeks and is on 120-150ml every 3-4 hours but sleeps through the night ☺️

My girl is 16 weeks and is roughly 17lb 🤦‍♀️ she's quite long though, she's on 8oz every 3-4 hrs and finishing the whole bottle and wanting more, last night she kicked off that bad for more she ended up having 11oz altogether 🤦‍♀️ she does sleep 12hrs with no wake ups so is only having 4x8oz bottles a day so roughly 32oz which I think is about right, but defo a hungry baby like her dad 🤣

My little girl is 15 weeks tommorow and on hungry baby formula drinking between 5/6oz every 2 hour. We had to move her onto hungry baby at about a month old because she was draining 4oz bottles sometimes every 1/2 hour at a month old but its not made a change. Thinking about weaning her at around 4 months because shes showing signs of hunger all the time and milk just doesn’t seem to be doing enough for her x

My LG is 16 weeks, has 5 x 5oz bottles a day so around 25oz per 24 hours. But remember it goes off their weight rather than age lovely! My little girl weighs 12lbs so will naturally need less than your baba. If you’re ever unsure, on the back of your formula box it will say how many feeds and oz over the 24 hours based on his weight.
Sounds like he just loveeees his food, and there’s nothing wrong with that babe xx

my boys 16 weeks now, but at 15 weeks and before was having 5oz every 3/4 hour found out he weighed 12lbs something. We recently upped to 6oz, again every 3-4 hours :) x

My baby is 17 weeks old. Last week she weighed 12lb 8oz.
She is in 6oz 4hourly x5 a day so she’s having 30oz a day.
To me that sounds like a lot but it’s comparing to my girl.
They’re all different.
You can’t exactly starve him or put a baby on a diet.
Have you spoken to your HV about it? Is it definitely food he’s crying for?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
