2 week old baby - how often do they feed?

[Shaz]

Just a quickie. Connor is coming up to two weeks old and we're starting to introduce the bottle for various reasons.

He's taking about 2-3oz per feed, but feeding every two hours. Is this about right for his age?

He's back up to his birth weight now (he got weighed today) so the MW's are happy with him.

In your experience girls when will he start taking more and having more time between feeds?

yes sounds about right hun hannah was feeding every 2 hours at his age

 

[Hypnorm]

2 hours would be about right for this age.

Nathan goes 3 to 4 hours inbetween feeds but he is draining his 4oz bottles now. i'm a bit reluctant to offer him 5oz yet, it just seems so much for a 2 week old baby.
