how much is a 2 week old supposed to eat? my baby is formula fed & he only drinks 1.5 or 2oz a…

They say an ounce for every hour, 2oz every two hours is average. But every baby is different as long as your baby is eating, have you went to Pediatrition Appoitment yet

@lnkedupmommy, yeah i had one last week & i have one tomorrow

@kartersmommyy, talk to her about his eating see what she says, because my son would stay hungry and id have to give him 4oz, now hes satisfied with 3oz But before he wasn’t having it

Eliana is the same she takes from an oz to 3 oz now, I’d say he’s doing fine! 😊

My baby is 2 weeks, almost 3 in a couple days. I always have the same concern when it comes to her eating. I switch off from bottle to breast and she usually eats 2 to 3 ounces every 2 1/2 to 3 hours from a bottle. If she's really fussy after a bottle, I offer the boob and she usually takes it just for comfort. If I feed her from the breast instead of the bottle, she nurses for about 15 minutes ( I have a pretty fast flow and mass production of milk)

I've been told babies will eat until they are full. That the stomach is a muscle, will expand, and the baby knows the limit.

I did formula feed my baby while we had a jaundice hospital stay scare and she usually took about 3 ounces.

After burping my baby, I usually have her sitting upright because she had issues spitting up too.

Feeding from a bottle, they tend to get more air than when nursing from the breast so try to burp. I had issues with getting her to burp until someone on here told me to move her in different positions and rubbing her back which works better.

Kooper is the same will eat anywhere from .5 to 3 ounces doctor said he is fine and perfect and to try to get him to eat atleast 1-2ounces a time so he isn’t snacking lol and isn’t getting use to snacking

Deacon us supposed to take 320ml a day, broken up however he can eat it, preferably 40 ml every 3 hr and 55ml every 4. But he is also really small and only 5 lb 10.8oz

I was told at that age its still on demand, as in whenever they're hungry. My son was wanting about 2 ounces every two hours at that point though

Theo would eat about 1.5 oz every few hours at that age just as long as the have wet\poop diapers and are gaining weight all is good
