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

2 weeks old was 4oz bottles and now hes 3 weeks hes taking up to 5oz sometimes x

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

3oz every 2 hours

My girl is 9 days old and she’s on 2.5/3oz feeds every 3ish hours x

My 3 week old is on 5 oz and sometimes still wants more. Feed on demand xx

Thank you ladies 🩷

My boys on 5oz! i feed him whenever he wakes up crying as thats what his own routine is x

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

3-4 oz every 3 hours x

2 weeks old and 2-3oz every 2-3 hours 😴 🙈 xx

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
