Re: moms of newborns/ infants who bottle feed- some questions on schedule

#1. How old is your DC? 4 months old
#2. How many feedings do they have in a 24 hour period? 5
#3. When do the feedings take place? Are they sleeping thru the night yet? about every 4 hours, but has one long stretch where he's sleeping that he skips over a feeding. Doesnt sleep through the night consistently- did a couple of times- most often wakes 3 or 4 am for his first feeding- then every 4 hours or so for the next 4. if he's sleeping we dont wake him. When he was under 2 months like clockwork he was taking the bottle every 3 hours and was about 5-6 oz then.
#4. How many ounces of formula do they take in a 24 hour period? How many with each feeding? 8 oz each bottle- so 40 oz in a day.

He's taking about 3 oz. every 2-3 hours. We just switched to Alimentum due to a milk protein allergy, so hopefully this will help thngs.

#4. How many ounces of formula do they take in a 24 hour period? How many with each feeding? 3 oz. every 2-3 hours, so about 32-36 oz. a day.

DD is 8 weeks old
She is still dealing with tummy issues and most days takes 2oz every 2 hours. Some days she'll eat 3 oz and stretch her feedings to every 3-4 hours
Some nights she takes one feeding - some nights two

honestly, i stopped keeping track. she eats every 2.5 - 4 hours and is on no particular schedule during the day. i just offer her a bottle when she seems hungry. her last feeding is usually arounf 9-10pm and then she'll go till about 3. then a feeding at about 3am and 6-7am.

i would estimate she takes about 20oz a day - less than what i'm seeing on this thread. but mind you, she is also small (born at 5-14, now about 8-2)...
