I keep seeing on this very site something like weight times 2.5. I believe if u check out the Similac and Enfamil sites they say the same thing.

Similac sent me this guideline in the mail:

Birth-1 week 6-10 feedings per day, 2-3 oz, 21 oz (average) in 24 hrs

1 week-1 month 7-8 feedings per day, 2-4 oz, 23 oz (average) in 24 hrs

1-3 months 5-6 feedings per day, 4-5 oz, 25 oz (average) in 24 hrs

3-6 months 4-5 feedings per day, 6-7 oz, 30 oz (average) in 24 hrs

Ftm..is it bad if they eat more? I havent weighed lo since i dont have a pediatric scale, shes almost 12 wks..eats 6 oz 5 to 6x a day but would prob eat more. I also am confused with hunger cues bc she eats her hands yet i know she just discovered them..so i then feed her if shes really sucking them
