How much should a 3 week old be drinking?? He was 8 lb 15 oz at birth, up to 9 lb 12 oz this past Tuesday. I'm breast feeding and supplementing and I'm pretty sure he's hitting a growth spurt. At night I give him a bottle of formula to try to get him to sleep (he wakes up every hour to hour and a half the past few nights😖) I give him a 4 oz bottle of formula and he sucks it down. Tonight after the bottle I nursed him again bc he was clearly still hungry... How much is too much?? He's been super gassy and uncomfortable too. First time mommy just wanting my son to be happy. Please help 😔

No. I can't. All he does is eat and it's too much. I get no sleep. So I need to supplement him sometimes.
Just breastfeed at night if you can! If you can breastfeed just fine there's really no reason to supplement. 4oz sounds like a lot to me though. I usually game my kids 2oz at that age. You can over feed them formula but you can't over feed them breast milk.
when breastfeeding I know that the policy is to absolutely feed on demand no matter what any one tells you, baby's tummy knows how much breast milk it needs. but since you supplement I'm not sure what the rules are on that.
Look up the size of a stomach of how old ur baby is. Whatever you produce is enough
How is it . I just fed baby 2.5 Oz and he's sucking bottle like he wants more. Idk if I should give him. I don't wanna over full him.
I literally have to only give my dad and his gf enough for 1 bottle when I drop him off there every Tuesday because last week they were about to give him 6oz in an hour like are you crazy they said because he was crying, play with him give him attention and he won't cry pick him up and walk around with him. I told him he gets 3 oz at 7pm they ended up not giving him the 3 oz till 7:30 and we got there at 8:30 to pick him up and was feeding him again I lost my mind it pisses me off bc he has a...
Mommas, how many weeks / months is your baby and how many ozs do they drink ? I supplement but when i give him formula he drinks 4 ozs, hes 3 1/2 months. And his dr thinks I feed him too much.
So what is the earliest you've heard a doctor suggest baby food. Waylon gained 4lbs in a month and he wanted me to start giving him bites of baby food through out the day along with 4oz of water. I had to start mixing my breastmilk with formula bc he has reflux. And having the bottle made him want to eat faster and more. He was eating 6oz bottles every 3 hours. And apperently it made him gain too much too fast. But I feel REEEEAAAALLLLLY off with the idea of giving him baby food. What do you all...
When can I start giving my son regular milk? He turns 10 months in 2 days. I bought unsweetened almond milk yesterday so he can try. Would that be okay? I’m lowkey tired of him on formula but I mean he’s still a baby lol.
He should be drinking 2 ounces of Milk
