How many ounces is he supposed to have?
« on: February 16, 2012, 01:10:55 am »
My DS is 2 months and EBF but I give him a bottle of formula at DF. He only takes 3 ounces. If its a bottle of EBM he has 4 ounces or so.

How many ounces should he have at 2 months??? I feed him right before BT at 6:30pm and then DF at 11




As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around

The average consumption for EBF babes is 25 ounces, so I guess it would depend on how often he is nursing...you could divide 25 by the number of nursings and provide a little more than that for him.

It seems he takes about 3,5 at each feed.... So I guess it's ok.
