Formula feeding

My little one is 17 days, born 5lbs 10oz. He has been on 4oz for about 8 days now. I say if your little one is hungry & he is holding it down he is absolutely fine with having 4oz :)

My 19 day old was on 4oz every 3 hours within his first week he was born 7Ib13 and now he can drink 5oz every 3 hours he’s a greedy boy they said to listen to ur baby if he finishes every bottle then up it he now weighs 8Ib10 x

Off topic as I can’t speak from experience but he’s a lil cutie 🥺x

From 16 days old my little girl was on 5oz every 3 hours, she was 9lb 14oz born. I was told I was overfeeding her but I ignored everyone, they aren’t the ones who have to listen to your little one scream in hunger 🤷🏼‍♀️
Sounds like you’re doing a great job responding to his feeding needs and he’s gaining weight well x

When I spoke to my health visitor about the same thing, she said they'll take what they need and if it's too much they'll just sick it up. I was worried I was overfeeding as we read the same, but this made me feel better. My little boy is 1month now and does 5oz sometimes 6

My little boy is 16 days old and 4oz is his minimum, I’m sure he’s got hollow legs 🤣
I had the same issues with breastfeeding and he dropped a lot of weight so I feel like this is just him catching up. I’ve asked the midwife and health visitor and they were both happy and told me to listen to baby and what he wants 😊

My son @ 2 weeks ild was drinking a 250ml borrle ormula every 3 hrs (passed away to SIDS 07/08/2003)

Forget what Google says, one size does not fit all. Babies are all so different and you also shouldn’t go off age, you go off weight. A 2 week old 7 pounder is going to drink way less than a 2 week old 11 pounder.
My baby was technically drinking too much and yet would scream in hunger if he had the reccomened’ amount. Do what works for your baby xx

Mine is ten days she takes 4oz I went for ten day checkup today and brought it up as was worried it might be to much she told me between 3-4 oz is fine if she is drinking it then let her.

My baby is 8 days old, and she’s between 3oz and 4oz. Although, I think she could drink more cuz she’s greedy🤣🤣 x

Just let him have whatever he takes. My baby took 3.5 oz around that time. Growth spurt. There is no overfeeding a baby. If you feed them too frequently they can have spit ups more so you do more laundry. That is about it.

My daughter is 2 weeks old and sometimes she will take 4oz and sometimes she will take 3oz.

When I just breastfed, she dropped from 5lb 2oz to 4lb 4oz, so now I mix.

I would just offer 4oz or more if your baby needs it. I would listen to your son x

My little one regularly drinks 2 to 3 oz she's 9 days old and 5lb 14oz xx
