Feeding

How much are your newborns eating. When I was in the hospital I was breast feeding and when I came home my supply plummited so I supplemented with formula. I started her with 2 oz on Monday but it seems every 2 days she’s able to eat more and getting way too full. When I try to not feed her as much she cries so much. How many ounces are your newborns drinking?

Same it ranges from 2-4 oz

We also supplement with formula, and I pump milk. I offer him 2-3oz at a time. I was expecting to feed every 3hrs, but he is hungry every 1-2hrs. My lactation consultant said it's okay to offer anytime. If he throws up, we try to offer pacifier instead or otherwise distract him to give his tummy a break.

Ok this makes me feel better. I was really starting to get worried that she was eating so much
