Formula feeding

How much and how often are you feeding your 6/7 week olds? Mine is currently on 2oz every 2 hours but I’m trying to get her to change to 4oz every 4 hours. Really anxious she is not getting enough! How many oz are you getting in within 24 hours? Thanks!

My 7 week old is on 6oz every 2-3 hours. But hes a big boy x

At 6 weeks out LB was having up to 150ml every 3-4 hours

My girl is 6 weeks and is on 4-5 oz every 4 hours xx

My 6 week old is on 4oz every 4 hours x

Should I try and let her go 4 hours and try 4 oz?

I don't know about everyone else but when I tried to wait longer between bottles, my baby was not happy but it didn't take long for her to get used to it, just be prepared for the kick off. Maybe slowly increase the time every 15mins x

My 7 week old is on 4oz every 3-4 hours x

@Becky Does your baby then sleep during those 3-4hrs ? My 8week old is on 4oz but still tends to feed every couple hours because he just refuses to sleep any longer during the day haha 😂

@Kate 🤞🏼🌈 He usually sleeps between them as long as we don’t have visitors, he’s a major fomo baby x

@Becky yes mine is the same but only sleeps like 2-3 hrs contact napping during the day haha wakes up after 40 mins most of the time and struggle to get him back off but he’s not hungry haha 😂

My baby is eight weeks old drinks 4 ounces/5 oz every four hours and we don’t wake up during the night to feed him anymore we go by if he wakes up and cries, which is usually every five hours at night

My boy is 5 weeks and he is having 5oz every 3-4 hours, but every baby is different xx

Thanks everyone!! One last question, how much do you think your little one is having in 24 hours?

My 5week old is on 5oz every 3h

I usually do milliliters and my 4w old is doing 90 to 120 mL each feed (which is 3 to 4 oz) and every 2 hours during the day ~ he gets bottles every 3 hr-ish at night, so max 12 bottles a day which makes a rough 30-36 oz (900-990 ml)

My 6 week old drinks anywhere between 4 and 5 ounces every 3 hours. He has his first bottle at around 7am and last bottle at around 7pm. All in all between 20-25 ounces a day. He has bottles on demand so this can vary slightly x

7 weeks old and having 3-5 Oz every 3 hours during the day and every 5-6 hours during the night x

My 7 week old is having 5oz every 3 hours sometimes longer sometimes shorter duration. If they're finishing their bottles with no problem I would be giving an extra oz they only tend to feed that two every two up to about 3/4 weeks old .
