How many Oz a day?

Hiii.
Just wondering what everyone’s 2 month olds eat in a day?
My LO has mainly breast milk expressed but abit of formula.
She has around 22-26oz a day sometimes abit less. She has suffered with colic.
I’d say around 8oz max is formula, sometimes less.
She only takes the same amount of formula as she does breast milk. Which is between 2-4oz per feeding.
Is this enough? Her weights always been fine when she’s been checked but I worry now she’s getting older she isn’t taking enough to fulfill her centile.

28.07.2023 your babyy? Xx Might too xx

exactly how I feel!!!!

Our doctor told us she should be having 150ml-200ml for every kg of her weight per day. Our baby is around 5kgs now so she has between 750ml-1000ml per day. It has been really useful knowing this... just wish we knew earlier!

Fair play, this is what we were told by our doctor in London... I'm a first time mum so took it as a good guide.

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Is anyone else's 4 month old randomly screeching now? I'm not sure what to do and she's been doing this for the past two days. She's usually a quiet happy baby so im not sure why she's doing this now. Aby suggestions?

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
