and its not good. baby going longer without eating makes it easier to get dehydrated. for the first month only 1-2oz should be fed every 2-3 hrs, not 4. I was just stating my opinion and I really dont understand the reason for coming after me for facts. Feed your childs 4oz at less than a month be my guest, its just not healthy and can cause horrifying issues. These are facts every child doctor should be aware of and warn parents about.
If you think about it, 4oz every 4 hours is the same total amount as 2oz every 2 hours, so if they're keeping the 4oz down and not spitting up, then let them have it. They're not actually eating more than 2oz every 2 hours, just eating more at a time and lasting longer. That's how my baby was. @hhmariah
Babies don't know how to stop themselves from eating to much til around 2-3mo. I'm only saying its bad to feed more the firat few weeks. after about 4wks, its good to gradually feed them more.
A doctor saying its okay to overfeed your child needs to do reserch. overfeeding your child leads to obesity, diabetes, stretches their stomach to the pont they will have horrifying problems in the future. I'm not judging and what not, but a newborn should not be eating more than 2oz.. same reasons why they say to wait 6mo to introduce foods.
1-2 oz is usually the average. My doctor told me 2 1/2 is good, anymore is considered over feeding because their stomachs are so small. but then again my first took 3+ oz at times, as a newborn and her doctor said it was fine, so I guess it varies?
