Ounces?

Curious as to how many ounces other babies are eating? I don't remember my first two consuming this much this early...

how often is he eating?

We just upped to 5.5 oz from 5 oz each bottle this past week at 11 weeks. She seems to be going through a sleep regression right now. Before this week she was sleeping through the night and taking about 25-30 oz a day, and this week we have one MOTN wake up. She generally eats every 2.5-3.5 hrs during the day.

6oz every 3-4 hours!!

When my girl gets a bottle it's 3 oz unless it's her morning bottle and that's 4 oz because she sleeps for 6 to 8 hrs.

My son is 3 months and we make 5 ounces bottles and sometimes he wants less and sometimes he wants more. He is being fickle right now. We are in a phase of him desperately wanting to hold the bottle while he eats, but he just can't yet, so he gets a little frustrated. On an average day, he will drink any from 30-35 ounces in a single day.

My baby is only drinking 3 oz and sleeping through the night for 7-9 hours. Is this too less? I see all other babies are having 5-6 oz. She is gaining weight and also having regular wet diapers. We tried to give her more than 3, she just wouldn't take it and if at all she drinks she will throw up. I am not very much worried as I understand every kid is different and she is healthy and gaining weight but just surprised that she is drinking less as per average. She is EBF, and started giving more breastmilk bottles during day as resumed work since a week.

Every 3.5 hours, my 13 week old is getting 5 oz. Sleeps for 9 hours a night and has one 6 oz bottle when he wakes up ❤️

My biggie boy is drinking 7oz consistently and often looking for more. Kiddo also eats every 2-3 hours during the day, but sleeps about 12 hours a night. His doctor's eyes about popped out of his head when I told him how much he eats!

We only offer 1 bottle/day but she will take anywhere from 3-4.5oz in it currently (almost 12 weeks)

my baby is at 4.5oz every 3 hours sometimes 4!

Okay a family member made a very good point, his father and uncle have crazy high metabolisms, like, they eat so much and gain zero weight (it's actually been a huge issue for my partner) so that may play into it. Today he happily gulped down 8 oz and no spit up. If I only fed him 4 oz, he'd be screaming at me all day!

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
