quick questiona about amount to feed a newborn?
I havent had a chance t post my birth story or pics but will do that soon. Quick question.... Approximatley how much should a 5 day old be drinking? He is small 6 lbs 11oz. He has been taking little feedings throughout the day then one bigger one at night and last night skipped( well basically refused) his 1 am feeding. He is also sleeping A LOT. I cold have just forgoteen if this is normal pr not.Also my dd was 10lbs so she was a bit dfferent with her eating and sleeping. TIA

Re: quick questionaa bout amount to feed a newborn?
I can't remember that far back with my DD.
But my BIL had a baby last week.
I believe he is eating 3 ozs about every 4 hours.
I can call and find out if you don't get enough answers.
Also, I see in the related topic the same question, so you might want to look at those.
Oh yea - Congratulations!!

Re: quick questionaa bout amount to feed a newborn?
Congrats!!!!! Can't wait to hear all about the birth!!
DD was pretty consistent with her eating 2 oz every 3 hours for a couple of weeks. We then gave her 3 oz bottles in case she got hungry but it did take her awhile to get there. We always had the bottle 1oz ahead of what she was eating

Yes, 2-3 oz. I believe and usually from 2-4 hours between feedings.
