How much formula does your 2-3 week old eat? My LO has a seemingly insatiable appetite lately! She began increasing a few of her daytime feedings this past week to every hour or 1.5 hrs., 2-3 oz. at a time. At her doc appt. the other day, the doc said she should be eating more like every 3 hrs, or even 2 but not every hour. But she keeps wanting more--tonight LO ate 3 oz. then 20 min. later 2 oz. more.
To determine your baby's daily formula intake range, multiply your baby's weight in pounds by two. This is the lower end of how many ounces he needs in a 24-hour period. Then multiply his weight by 2.5. This is the upper range of ounces required within 24 hours. For example, a 12-pound baby would likely need 24 to 30 ounces in a 24-hour period. To determine how many ounces per bottle, divide those amounts by the number of feedings your baby takes per day. In this example, if your baby is taking 6 bottles in 24 hours, he would need approximately 4- to 5-ounce bottles.
