how much does ur baby drink

[New Mommy 2 Be 2007]

my daughter is 2 weeks old and drinks 2 1/2 to 3 oz every 3 hours i was wondering how ya'all babies are doing

Nathan is a big healthy boy....he eats every 2 1/2- 3 hours during the day, and then at night he sleeps for 5 hours...last night he slept for 6 1/2 hours...whew hew!!  It was great!!

I would say that he normally eats about 3-4 oz at each feeding.  He gets bottled breastmilk during the day, and i breastfeed him at night.

They say that they are suppose to eat about 25-30  oz a day at this point, and divide that by the amount of feedings per day. So like my son eats 7x a day divided into 25-30 is 31/2- 4 oz a feeding.

My little guy sleeps 2-4 hours and feeds about 4+ ounces every 2-4 hours

I was beginning to wonder if Claire was normal or not! She is 8 weeks today and only drinks 2 1/2 to 3 oz every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. It seems like it should be more than that by now. During the night she usually does one long stretch (4 1/2 hours...sometimes a little longer) and then every 3 hours. She barely drinks 2 oz at a time on the last two feedings (around 4 AM and 7 AM).  I guess they know when they're hungry and how much they want at this point.

My son wakes up every 2 hours during the day looking for food. He usually drinks 3 ounces at every feeding. But as the night nears, he goes 3-4 hours in between each feeding while still only drinking 3 ounces. Why does he wake every 2 hours during the day if he's drinking the same amount and than goes longer towards the end of the night? He'll be 6 weeks old soon and I just feel like he should be going longer inbetween bottles. ??

baby girl will be 8 weeks on saturday.

She drinks about 4 oz of breast milk from the bottle during the day about every 3 1/2 hours.  Evenings is just breast feeds on demand, which is pretty frequently - maybe every 1 - 2 hours - that's also our interaction time.  Then from about 11-12 (when I go to bed with her - we cosleep) she'll sleep through to 6 when she'll have a suck and then sleep for another 3 hours or so.

4+ ounces every 3-4 hours...sometimes less time...sometimes more formula...all depends!

My son is also 5 weeks old and he drinks anywhere from 2-4 ounces every 2-3 hours. He mostly drinks 3 ounces but every now and then it's 2.
4 ounces is rare but has happened a few times.
