tiredmommy`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll For those who bottle feed, how much did/does your baby take at 3-4 weeks old - and how often? (My son is 4 wks, and is taking 4 oz already every 3-4 hours. That seems like a lot to me, but maybe that`s normal.) Please comment!

jensay (91.2 days ago)
mines was taking 2-3 oz every 2 hours during the day (sometimes more LOL) and less at night... maybe 3-4 hours

that sounds very normal to me.. Infact the four hours may be even a little longer then normal.. i would def say that 4 oz every three hours is on Q!

TattooedMommyof2Soon (92.9 days ago)
My son drank 4oz every 2-3 hours, 24 hours a day until he was 8-10 weeks old. (Around 50-60oz a day!) He`s now 9 months old, eating 3 meals a day and still drinking at least 40 oz of formula a day. :)

At 4 weeks my sons all drank 4-5 oz every 3 hours :) Sometimes eveyr 2.5 sometimes 3.5 ~ def sounds right and not to much :)

StephanieLynn (92.9 days ago)
My daughter took 4oz. every 3/4 hours at that age

arkansastechmommy (92.9 days ago)
At that age, my son drank an ounce to 2oz. every two hours.

Oh, i forgot... there`s a range that is normal like 2 - 2.5 ounces per pound... so it`s not age that matters but it`s the child`s size that you calculate from.

summerisis (93 days ago)
My daughter was at 2 ounces every 3-4 hours at that age. I wouldn`t worry about. Let the hungry child eat.

CassandraLee (93 days ago)
He could be going through a growth spurt. There will be times when they seem like theyre starving all the time. If youre unsure call your pediatrician.

mamacakes (93 days ago)
it all depends on the baby. My first son was big..he was over 10 pounds at birth. So by 4 weeks he was taking in 5oz. every 3 hours...lol...so it totally depends on the baby and how big they are.
