babies born in the beginning to mid of Septmeber

I know there are a lot of us mommies who had little ones aroung this time. I was just wondering what your feeding schedule was like....How many oz. do you give and how often.

Right now Ava is getting about 6oz of formula every 4 to 4 1/2 hours except at night when she usually sleeps for about 7 hours

I wish. My baby takes 1-2 oz per feeding with no real schedule. On occasion she'll take 3oz but that usually involves a lot more spit up. This reflux thing is the pits. She has been sleeping a 5 hour stretch at night though which has been nice. I guess she drinks about 12-16oz a day. Not enough but right now it's all we can get in her but when she breastfeeds I have no idea really how much she gets but its still an average of 1-2oz.

Jacob is having between 7-8 oz every 4 hrs and has been sleeping at least 8 hrs straight through the night.

wow...how did you guys get your little ones to sleep so long?? do you try to keep them up during the day??
marissa still only sleeps btwn 3-4 hours at a time. every night, i pray that i'll be pleasantly surprised with 5-6 hours but it hasn't happened yet.
she eats every 3-3.5 hours and is eating 4 oz at a time. maybe if i give her more at her last feeding, she'll sleep longer???

Cari was born Sept 6, so she was 9 weeks tuesday. She is taking 6oz every 3 hours during the day. Lets put it this way. She went down at 8pm. It is now 2:42 am and she has not gotten up yet. I of course am up. LOL! She did the same yesterday and got up at 4am. So she is doing much better these days!!!

Talia was 8 weeks yesterday. I am still breastfeeding so I don't know exactly what she is getting - but when I bottle feed her she takes between 5-6 oz. She is at 5 feedings a day and sleeps for 7-8 hours a night
