ff babies - how many oz is normal?

[bambino]

how much does your baby take?
Harry is 8 weeks today

im concerned he is having less than he should be since he started sleeping through the night.
yesterday he had
3oz midnight
3oz 6.30 am
5oz 11 am
4oz 15.30
5oz 19.30
3oz midnight

23 oz in 24 hours - is that about right.
I thought he should drink more in the day since missing the night time bottle out bu he takes less now than 2 weeks ago?

at 6 weeks babies usually have a hungry week due to a growth spurt this was maybe when you noticed him taking a bit more
as long as you are getting 5 or 6 wet nappies a day, he is settling well and gaining weight at a steady rate then he is having enough
if you are at all worried though i would talk to the hv
hope this helps hun xx

Niamh is under a dietician and the recommended amount in 24 hours is 150mls per kilo that they weigh. Not sure what that is in ounces, think 30mls is aboput 1oz.

Niamh weighs 5kg (11lb) and needs to have 750mls in 24 hours. However if you feed your baby on demand then some days they may take more or less. As long as he's gaining weight, i really wouldn't worry.
