how much to feed baby

[hersheypomchi]

so the hospital said to feed her 15ml of formula.. but that doesnt seem enough.. shes always begging for more.. and i heard ur supposed to feed a newborn 1oz-2oz.. but she spits it up.. how much should i be feeding her?

Whatever baby will take.....feed on demand however often or much baby wants, they will let you know when they are hungry, just go with baby!

Just feed her however much she wants, 15mls is not a lot at all.

My little girl is 12 days old and she feeds between 2 and 4ozs at each feed its not a consistent amount she just has what she wants.
At the hospital I was never told a amount to feed my bubs just to go with the flow

Noel was taking 3-4 oz from 6 days old. I'd just go with how ever much they take.you can't really over feed at that age.

would u still feed ur little ones more if she is spitting up during her feeding or stop?

Maybe try 1oz, stop, burp, offer another 1oz, stop burp etc. This may help with the spit-up. Unless she is crying for more its probably best to only offer upto 3oz per feed in the first week or so, just incase her spit-up is due to her taking more than her stomach can handle. xxx

I would stop and try to make her burp and then feed her more if she wants more...
