How much to feed?

[Rachel80]

Hi ladies, I'm still not sure how much I should be feeding in the early days? I'm 37 weeks so could happen any day & this is the one question I don't know the answer to! So I've got sma gold pre made up bottles for the first few days but how much is he supposed to have & how often? I've heard anything from every 2-4 hours but how much is the right amount? I knw every baby is different but there must be a ball oak for an average size baby? Thanks x

Id start with literally an oz for the 1st few days. Then up to 2oz hun. Newborns also cluster feed so u may see baby wanting a feed every hr for a few hours a day. I was breast feeding till day 5.

My baby is on 5-6oz every 3hours in the day with evening feeds between 8-9pm / 3-4am / 7am then bk to the 3hrs. Hes coming up to 8wks on thurs xx

I breastfed for two days but on the first night my OH gave him a bottle. He took about 2oz.
Day 3, when it was formula only he was taking up to 3oz in one sitting. Just make sure u have enough. You will know though xx
