How many ounces did you DC eat at 4 weeks?
i feel like my twins never stop eating!
One DS is at 4 oz every three hours and the other is at 3.5 ounces every three hours - is that way too much?
thanks!

My ped said up to 5oz is fine. I was giving between 4-5oz by 1 month.

Around 3 oz.- I think he might have been every 2 hours at that point.

Re: How many ounces did you DC eat at 4 weeks?
at 4 weeks I could only tell you DS was latched on to me all day, with maybe an hour break for sleep. At night I gave him 6oz bottle of formula, to get some rest.
I later read that the average is 2.5oz per pound of body weight per day, up to around 3m. When I switched to all formula, DS was eating exactly that much.

5 - 6 oz every 4 hours at 1 month old...formula fed.
Ped said to give whatever she would take...she said you'll know if you are overfeeding b/c they will throw up what they can't handle.
