formula fed newborns between 6-8 weeks old...?

what is your feeding schedule and sleep schedule for your infant?

DD is almost 8 weeks but has been sleeping long stretches for a while at night. last night i fed her at 515 and she fell asleep at 730 ..and was still sleeping at 445 this morning i actually woke her to feed her it made me nervous


but basically she takes 5 oz every 4-5 hrs and has an 8 hr stretch at night for feedings.

SLEEPING- she is usually on awake about 1.5 hrs at a time then back down to sleep...


anyone else similar to this?

James was 8 weeks old yesterday and he takes 6 ounces every 3.5/4 hours. He naps a lot during the day and wakes usually twice per night to eat.

My dd began STTN at about 6.5-7 weeks. We would put her down at 9pm and she would wake up any time between 5am and 8 am. Once she started STTN the only thing I did to change her feeding schedule was slowly increase the amount of oz. she was taking at each feeding so I was sure she was getting enough throughout the day!
