How much does your newborn drink?

[nessajane]

Hi girls, was just wondering how much does or did your LO drink per feed during the first few days? My LO seems to vary between 40 and 60 ml per feed was just curious if this is similar to others?

Thanks x x

Think Tom was having about the same, he used to drink about half the bottle of aptamil we had

Jacob took 60mls on his first feed after birth by about day 5 he was feeding every hour taking 60mls so HV told me to up it to 90mls a feed which he was on until about 3 weeks XXX

Niamh has 90mls every 3 hours. She is tube fed and we were told that this was the right amount for her weight by dieticians at the hospital. She is 9lb 9oz.

mls/oz's confuse me but Brooke went from drinking 1 to 2 oz's in the first couple of days every 4 hours or so, now the greedy little piggy is on 3.5oz's every 3 to 4 hours
