40 ounces and 15 pound baby ?

[Bellybump89]

I feel like this is wayyyy too much. She just recently staying up later till about 11 which gives her time for one more bottle and she wakes up at 4 am and takes another like usual.

She eats 4 oz every two hours on the dot.. If I up it she gets pukey :/

Any advice?

I'm not weaning until 6 months

ok i'm confused way too much formula a day or too often to eat 4 ounces? I think that it is fine there is no set rule on how much a baby should eat. I always look at it this way- if your baby is happy, gaining weight, having appropriate diapers feed on demand and not worry about how much they eat. if you were breast feeding (no this is not a dig at not breast feeding couldn't care either way) you would have no idea how much they were eating. You only know now because you mix up the formula. I say feed your baby based on her cues.

My Dr. said to figure out around how much formula the baby will take, take the weight in lbs and multiply by 2.5. You seem to be in the ball park. My son drinks about the same as your LO (right around 40oz in 24hrs).

Thanks for that! For some reason I was thinking the multipliar was only 2 not 2.5

So I was getting 30 Oz not 37.5 lol

I feel better now !
