question: how much should I be feeding my 5 day old son he was drinking 2 oz at the hospital and I…

A rule of thumb that I read is 2.5 oz of formula or milk per pound of body weight

he weighs 8 lbs tho so how do I do that?

@vb95,

Do 2.5 x 8, so he should be eating 20oz a day, call his dr if you're concerned though. The info is on baby center. @warfordmomma

honestly let you baby eat as much he wants they know how hungry they are that's what I did with my!y twins

@ktwins188, I just don't want to over feed him but at the same time I don't want to under feed him either :(

try pace feeding

@jacesterlingsmommy, what's that!

It helps to regulate the baby's needs and not to overfeed them too quickly. It's a good way to know how much baby will want not with a bottle just shoved in their mouth.

he won't over feed. he'll stop when he's full
