How much are you feeding your babies please!

Baby is on 4oz already at 2 weeks old. My health visitor advised to put her bottle up to 4oz but she is still draining the bottle every 3 hours. How much are all you mamas who are formula feeding feeding your babies giving them at 2 weeks please!xx

We made 4oz bottles but she didn't always drink all of it

3-4oz every 3 hours at 5 weeks. I think it should be under 32oz in 24 hours ish which I think yours is doing quick maths. Maybe discuss hungry baby milk with HV if they keep wanting more

Mine was on about 2/3oz at 2 weeks old, she’s on 5oz now but every 4 hours and she’s 5 weeks old x

I think she was on 4oz at 4 weeks every 4 hours..sometimes 3 I think x

My boy has severe jaundice so I’ve been in the hospital yesterday again and told to keep a diary of feeds. He’s on 50-60ml (2oz) per feed every 3 hours. If he’s still looking after that I’ll give him more but that’s his bare minimum requirement right now xx

My little one went on to 4oz bottles at 7 days old and has been clearing them pretty much everytime and sometimes wants a top up in between feeds , she's 17 days old now and although she sometimes wants an extra feed sometimes she's not ready for 5oz bottles we've tried but she will stop at 4oz 😅 she can feed anywhere from 2.5-4.5 hours from her last feed we very much are on demand at the moment xx

My little boy is 3 weeks and 2 days and he is on 4oz every 3 hours, sometimes more sometimes less. I was giving him 3oz every 2-3 hours until he was 2 and a half weeks old but he kept showing signs he was still hungry. He now clears 4oz every 3 hours and sometimes it’s 2 and a bit hours and he’ll wake up crying. My HV advised do smaller feeds more often but he was never satisfied with just the 3oz so we upped it by one bottle a day then just changed all of his feeds to the 4oz. He was 9lb 4oz at birth so a big hungry boy 🍼🤍 X

We’re 5 days old and 3oz so we’ll probably be on 4oz in the next week x

My boy was drinking just under 4oz every 3 hours at 2 weeks, he was starting to also drain the bottle so we started giving him 5oz in the day as he got closer to 3 weeks and 4oz at night (he doesn’t drink as much at nighttime) and he seems to love it, health visitor said he was happy and healthy so to continue doing what we’re doing xx

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x
