Experience with creating and sticking to a feeding/changing schedule or plan for a newborn?
(Schedule and newborn don’t really go together but you know what I mean).

It was easiest for me to just follow his lead. Feed when hungry, change when dirty... is there a specific problem you're running into?

@kambam, he over eats and his doctor was talking about setting up a feeding plan with small bottles at more frequent intervals.

Oh ahh, he's bottle feeding? Are you making sure to pace feed? Most moms who bottle feed do about 3 or 4oz every 3 hours and be sure to pace feed so he's eating slowly and getting more satisfied.

@kambam, he’s only eating 1-2oz since he’s a little guy every 2-3 hours, I was letting him eat up to 3oz every 3-4 hours but then our doctor said that was too much for him.

Oh my bad. Didn't see he was 2w. Yeah 2oz every 2 or 3h I'd say. About 24oz a day then. When you feed them too much at a young age it stretches their tummies and they will keep needing more.
