32 oz, every 4 hours, INFIDEL, it varies from child to child, when she’s done, she’s done
What is normal? All babies eat when hungry, sleep when tired.
normally it’s 2oz. per 2 to 3 hours,but every child is different, as long as your baby is not spitting up,I’d give her what she needs
8ounces every 4 hrs
Yes it is. Infants know when they’re hungry & let you know with a cry, of course. You can start her on a little bit of baby cereal too. It will help keep her tummy fuller. DO NOT put the cereal in the bottle. That’s a recipe for choking. Feed her the cereal on a soft tipped spoon for infants & mix the cereal with her formula. DO NOT add sugar! When she’s older, around 4 months, you can add jarred baby fruit once a day to get a fruit serving in. My son was sporadic like your daughter. I did the cereal thing & he leveled out on his feedings.
OH my goodness..DO NOT give your five week old cereal yet!
They take what they need. don’t stress. They don’t always eat the same amount at every feeding.
Depends on the baby, but most five week olds can consume between 2 – 3 ounces every 2 to 3 hours. For a better answer, try calling your baby’s pediatrician.
at 5 wks my baby ate 2-4 ozs but they eat what they want dont worry
Don’t you think you should ask your pediatriction and not strangers?
Your baby should go through about 12 cans of formula a month till he/she is about 6mo then it will drop to 10 cans a month
my son ate about 2 oz every 3 hours. but then again he was only 3lbs12oz when he was born and would eat no more than an oz. i think that it is sad when a parent feed their baby too often. all it does it teach them that when they are upset u should eat. thats why america is getting so large weight wise. the doctor told me to feed him every 3 hours even at night when i set the alarm to wake up. he was never fussy. i dont know anybody else’s baby who was so good. feed ur baby as much as they want at the time and then wait til its feeding time again to give them more, not when they want, not when they wake up in an hour…
my son did that its normal
i made him at least 4 oz and if he didnt want it all i put it in the fridge and then when he was hungry again id give him the rest sumtimes like 2 hours later i would give him the 2 oz that where in the fridge then id make him another 2 oz
