Feeding

Wondered roughly how often/ how many feeds everyone's little ones have a day? My boy is 8 weeks and seems to have about 9 or 10 in 24 hours. Don't know if that's not enough times or not!

No idea I don't track them at all 🤣

@Charley fair enough 😂 I only do because his weights a bit low since spending some time in hospital and if the health visitor asks about feeds, my mind goes blank 😂😂

@Sophie haha we've got HV coming on Thursday and I don't know how I'll answer that question, or the one about nappies ...I just know my nappy bin gets full reeeeeally quickly so he must be having plenty of wet and dirty ones lol

@Charley They usually just ask if they are feeding well and having enough nappies so just say yes 😂 you'd know if he wasn't

@Sophie haha he's putting on loads of weight so no doubt about that

Breast or formula? For breast it’s ok for formula it’s high. My son has 4 formula feeds (5oz) and 2 breastfeeds during the day and 2 breastfeeds at night x

@April he's breast fed! Forgot to mention that😂

i breastfeed and mine has between like 12-18 feeds in 24 hours!

@April how old is your boy? My boy is now exclusively formula after transitioning from breast and he’s 9 weeks. He’s on 4oz per feed and feeds every 2 hours xx

Mine has the same and is also 8 weeks. I think it's fine, he's putting on weight well.

@Hannah bloody hell that’s like a feed every hour during the day! How do you get anything done

Mine likes 7-10 feeds. Most of the time averaging 8 per day, but she takes a long time, at least an hour each feed

@Julia 😂😂😂 he does go few hours without, but a lot of the time he does loads of small feeds early evening, so it all adds up. usually his feeds are between 5 minutes and 20 so not too long thankfully

@Melissa he was 8 weeks yesterday, you know your baby and if he’s draining them and not vomiting from over feeding then no worries xx
