How much is your 4 week old eating...

...and how often? Specify BF or FF. How much does LO weigh?

 DS eats 4oz every 3-4 hours. And sometimes he still seems hungry. Weighs 8 lbs 8 oz.

DD is FF and eats every 3-4 hours and usually between 3 and 4 ozs. She weighed just over 9 lbs at her last appointment.

Ff here. He was almost 10lbs at his 2 week appointment. His one month is next week. 

 

Right now, he is eating like crazy. 3oz every 2-3 hours.  Most days he is looking for a little more in between as well. I feed on demand.

So glad to hear..We thought DS was a little piggy. I feed on demand as well but I didn't want to over feed him...he is so much hungrier now then he was one week ago. I guess that means he is growing!!

I really have no idea....I BF and its hard to tell. I usually feed him on demand but it works out to be about 2-3 hours. Just this week he started to give me a 4 hour stretch at night. I have pumped a bit and had people feed him if I go out. My mom said he was still hungry after 3 ounces. So I am guessing between 3-4? I was wondering the same thing because I am going out to eat tonight and not sure how much to leave.

My son was 9 pounds, 6 ounces at birth. His next appt. is Wednesday so we'll see about his weight gain.

DS was born 9 lbs 12 oz. Was 10 lbs 10 oz at his 2-week checkup. Not sure about his weight now, but he's def. a lot bigger.

He's just started eating 5-6 ounces every 3-3.5 hours a couple days ago. Before that, it was 4 oz every 2.5-3 hrs.

FF.
