what does your newborn drink? advise needed

[Stacey_89]

Right so my little girl is now a week old and its also been 5 years since iv had a baby,so my mind is abit blank lol.

When my baby was born she was classed as a lazy baby as she would sleep 5-6hours straight without a feed.
A few days later she had picked up loads and was drinking 3oz every 3-4 hours.
Now at a week old shes drinking 2oz every 2 hours.
At first i thought she was "bit bobbin" but iv been told this amount is okay?
All i remember is when my oldest was born she was every 3 hours and drinking 3oz

Ye that sounds about right. I breastfeed but with my first for the first few weeks I was giving bottles of expressed milk and she used to take about 1-2ozs every hour or two. So it was little and often. Their stomachs are only tiny about the size of their hand in a fist so they can't really hold that much milk in their stomach x
