How many ounces does your newborn drink in a 24 hour period?

Vincent's been sick since last Tuesday and his intake has significantly decreased. He is 11 weeks ..

I am wondering what other babies under 3 months are drinking... BTDT moms are welcome to answer too :)

I had a little monster so you probably can't go by me he- was eating in the hospita before we even left l 3oz per feeding about every 2-4 hours (probably why breast feeding never worked for him-LOL!)

Elizabeth is a little over 6 weeks and she drinks 5 oz every 4 hours. If she goes longer than 4 hours without eating then she gets 6 oz. So....around 30 - 32 oz.

I think I ned to speak to my ped.

So far he drank

2 am: 4 oz
8:30 am: 2 oz
12:30 pm: 4 oz
3:30 pm 4 oz

and he's currently sleeping.

If he gets up and eats another 4 oz at 8 and midnight that's only 22 ounces at 11 weeks old. that is NOT enough.

Before he got sick, we were getting up to 4-6 oz per feeding every 3-4 hours.

Bella drinks 3 oz every 2-3 hours. Sometimes she'll drink 2.5 oz if she wakes up before the 2 hours for her bottle.
