How many oz does your 18lb baby have?

My LO has 40oz ish. i feed him 8oz every 3 hrs but dont know if i should wait for him to get hungry first?

He sleeps 12 hrs a night so if i didnt feed 3hrly during the day he wouldng get the recommended for his weight?


Thanks

Hi Hun

Emily is only about 15llb & she also sleeps for a long period at night & I feed her on demand & its about every 3 hours 7oz but sometimes the 2nd bottle is only 2 hours from the first, when I upped her amount to 8 oz she just kept being sick so 7 oz suits her. my baby will not take her feed unless she is hungry. HTH

Jayden is around 17-18lb now and he has about 40oz a day on demand, usually every 2-3hours. If he seems fine and is drinking it without pushing the teat out as if he doesn't want it and his weight gain is fine then carry on as you are x
