Feeding

Hi all! My newborn is 10 days old he weighs around 7lb now but has been showing signs of hunger after feeds so we upped his bottle to 120ml and he had no problems getting it down. Is this a normal amount or should he be having less?

Formula intake

How many oz is everyone’s babies taking in 24 hours? My little boy is just shy of 12 weeks, and he’s been having 34-37 ounces per 24 hours, he’s not being sick or unsettled at all but worried I’m over feeding him?

Formula fed babies

Does anyone’s 8 week old only drink 3-5 oz every 4 hours the reason why I say 3 because that’s sometimes all she will drink and sometimes she will finish the bottle? Just seeing if this is normal?

1 year old

What’s the advice with formula when your baby turns 1? My baby has solids but I wouldn’t say he has enough to go onto cows milk as he still has been having 4 bottles of around 6-8 ounces of formula a day.

7/8 month old amount of milk...

Hi mamas, im EBF at the moment and would like to pump for a bottle once a day. How much do you guys think my 7 month old going to 8 months should have in 1 bottle? Is there a rule based on their weight or should I just go with trial and error and see how much she wants?
