How much should she be eating?

Here for the comments

my son does 4-5oz but goes 3-4hours 🙂 sounds good

I just went back to work so now I'm pumping more and it's easier to track feedings. When I first went back he was eating 5 oz every 3 hours but Friday he ate 5 oz every 2 hours 😅 I'm hoping that's not his new thing because I'm currently a just enougher and need to increase my supply.

if my boys still hungry he’ll let me know! lol

Under 6 months, babies should eat 2 to 2.5 oz per pound in a 24 hour period to help keep them on their weight gain curve.

My 3 mo is eating 8oz every 4 hrs give or take, but he sleeps through the night from 9:30-6am.

My baby eats this like this too! I think 4ish ounces every 2-3 hours is normal :) So I think you’re good mama! Especially if she isn’t losing weight and is gaining while still growing, You’re good! The only time I’d worry is if she wasn’t growing and gaining weight, which then at appointments I would hope the pediatrician would recognize that and could see what the issue would be. Like Whether the breast milk was fatty enough to keep her full. :)

Thank you everyone. She seems content with a 4 oz bottle but just wanted to make sure I wasn’t under feeding her 😅 first time mom here lol. I don’t have a baby scale so I think it’s time to invest in one to have peace of mind and make sure she’s putting on weight even tho there is no denying she’s definitely growing 😅

Breastmilk is very different than formula so it varies for each baby. Follow babies cues. Do they suck the bottle dry and try to get more? Do they seem content? 3-4oz per feed is fairly normal. Is she having enough wet diapers and gain weight ok? That’s the only way to know because the calorie content of breastmilk changes over time so you don’t really need to increase quantity much.

that’s for formula not breastmilk!

@Brandy my apologies, this is what my nurse told me when I was being told my twins weren't gaining enough.
