How much is baby eating?

How many oz a day is your baby eating? How many bottles? Do they wake at night to eat still?

My son is 5.5 months breastfed. He eats between 38-43 oz a day. We give him 5.5 ounce bottles usually every two hours during the day, he sleeps from about 7:30pm - 5am, but if he’s gotten less than 38oz that day, we will wake him about 9:30pm to eat a last bottle

My baby eats about 25 ounces a day and she’s 6 months old. She’ll eat 3-4 ounces every 2 hours or so… she’s a grazer. And she’ll wake 2x a night to feed. And I feed her solids 2x/day. I have tried to get her to drink more in one sitting and space out her feedings but she just refuses. She doesn’t have any hunger cues either. I’ll walk over to her carrying a bottle and only then she’ll get excited to eat. Otherwise I think she gets too distracted by her toys to remember that she’s hungry.

my sons 6m he eats 25-32oz a day and sleeps all night long 10-12 hours

My daughter is drinking 5 oz every 2.5 to 3 hours. Even then it's hard to get her to drink it all in one sitting. She has not started solids (we are starting tomorrow) but she sleeps through the night without feeds.

8 oz bottle for morning feed, he feeds about every 3/4hrs so then has 2 7oz bottles in the days then another 8oz before bed then he sleeps for about 10-12hrs

6 months tomorrow. 5 oz bottles, 6-7 of them a day. Usually brings it to 31-36oz a day of half and half formula and breast milk!

6 months on the 16th. We're on 7 ounces every 3 to 4 hours and purees mixed with cereal once a day. Will be increasing to twice a day soon as long as she continues to take her bottles pretty consistently.

She will be 6 months next week! One 5 oz bottle when she first wakes up then Five 4.5 oz bottles every 2 to 3 hours for the remainder of the day. She sleeps through the night

Usually 2 7oz bottles and 3 6oz bottles for a total of 32oz per day. She stopped waking up to feed around 3.5 months and now sleeps overnight for 10-12 hours.

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? 😅

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

4 month sleep regression

Does anyone else feel like they’re back in the newborn trenches through the 4 month sleep regression ?? 😭😭 my boy turned 4 months yesterday and the past 3 nights he’s woken up every 20-40 minutes. He does manage to get back off to sleep after I give him his dummy. It’s so strange though because his daytime naps don’t seem to be affected? He has 2 x long naps a day (around 2 hours) and a couple 30-40 minutes here and there and seems fine during them, it’s just his night time sleep! I read it can last for 6 weeks, I pray it doesn’t because I am shattered 🤣🤣

Is this a normal poo?

Apologies for picture included. 1 year old has had a funny tummy since Friday not watery diarrhoea but very explosive and paste like poo and he’s not being eating as much but been drinking his milk and water normally! Today we had this poo though and it seemed a very chalk like consistency and very pale. Just asking for thoughts and advice really. He did also have lots of cream on his bum.
