How much should my 5 almost 6 week old be eating? I'm a mom of 3 and I know if he's hungry feed him and I know he won't over eat . However some people are saying u should be feeding him 6 oz bottles every 3.5 to 4 hrs and I'm not. I'm only giving him 3 oz ever 3 hours and he seems so content with that. I feel like 6 oz is alot still.
that seems like enough. if baby is satisfied then it's enough. mine didnt start drinking 6oz until like 4 months. he only went up 1/2oz at a time. as long as there are enough wet diapers i wouldn't worry
6oz is a lot for a 3week old. I think 3oz. is okay! I'm not 💯%! Because I breastfeed! It sounds more correct!
My son was born 8lbs 6oz and he spent a week in nicu. When he was there he drunk 8oz then dropped to 6 at like a month old. After that he always just drunk 6oz up until maybe 9 months when he was eating more solids and didn't really drink formula much which his doctor said was okay since he was eating more solids and still drunk some formula maybe 4oz every meal. He'll be 15 months next week and drinks maybe 2 cups of a milk, about 8oz each a day. It could be the bottle having him spit up even the formula or he just a little eater.
I gave my daughter 3oz every 3-4 hours since about 3 weeks. She's almost 8 weeks now and gets 4oz during the day and a 5oz bottle at night.
