Feeding question

[tattoomommy03]

I hate my kids being 10 years apart because i dont remember this... the last 2 night/days my kids have been eating less. Normally they eat 6 to 8 ounces of breast milk ( i pump now due to breastfeedi.g hurts like hell ) now they only seem to want 3-4 sometimes 5 ounces.. last night i could only get zachary to eat 3 ounces at his nigght bottle at 10 pm. Then the same when he woke up at 4 am. Im worried about it but everyone else seems to think its ok. During the day they eat3-4 ounces but the times are around 4-5 hours. Is  this ok? Wet diapers are good. Wet one every 2 hours and 2-3 poop throughout the day..

Ya 4 to 5 is a good amount my child is just a chunky butt and likes to eat I was worried he was over weight or something lol but no the doc said he is just a big baby...cady is eating the correct amount when they are newborn they dont eat alot mostly sleep

Cady is eating what I would say is the perfect amount for her age. When they are first born their stomachs are so tiny.

Kaiser is a medical center/company.  Cady is eating 1 oz when I breastfeed and 2 when its pumped. That's good, right?

Ya my baby is 2 months and he eats 6 ounces unless I breast feed him then he eats 4 ounces or less but ya they should be eating more or the same amount...I have my baby on a breast feeding schedule also so my nipples dont get all raw..I dont have to put anything on them

Who's Kaiser? I've never heard that before or met an infant that ate less during a growth spurt .

They say that during a growth spurt your kids stop eating... Least that's what Kaiser says.. long as they are making good wet and dirty diapers and aren't crying like their starving it should be fine..

2-4 oz in a normal amount for 1-3 month old to eat every 2-4 hours. Maybe they were going through a growth spurt when they were eating that much. The most Gen has ever drank out of a bottle is 4 1/2oz and she'll 11 weeks old.
