How much more should you feed your newborn baby every month?

I know we are suppose to feed her more every month but I don't know how much more. We only are told how much to feed her after we visit the pediatrician, but that happens once a month. Should we just feed her the same amount until the next pediatrician visit or should we slowly increase how much we feed baby.

Usually the baby lets you know how much to feed them There are good books out there with this kind of information and good internet sites - however - the norm is if the baby drains the bottle and continues to suck, it is time to put another ounce in that bottle. I presume the baby is being bottle fed. Increase the amount when the baby needs it.My daughter has a boy one year old.

He never ate the amount most kids eat. I worried about that but he is doing great. We always worry about our babies, especially the first one since we are so unsure about what we are doing.

When you have questions, do not be afraid to call your doctors office to ask a question-that is what they are there for.

She will tell you Make the bottle slightly larger than you think she will finish. Babies are wonderfully self regulating. They won't eat more than they need.So, if she is drinking 3 oz and seems to still maybe need a little more, make the next bottle 5 oz and see how much she finishes.

If there is an ounce left, you know she is up to 4 oz. If there is none left, try 6 oz next time. And remember, the amount your baby eats will fluctuate.

One week she may be up to 6 oz, and then the next she might only finish 5. It just depends on where they are in their growth cycle. But as long as she is growing and healthy, don't worry.

Every so often you might waste a little formula, but don't worry about over feeding her. Every baby is different, so there is no answer of the sort of 4 oz every 6 hours, or 6 ounces every 6 hours. Just let her eat till she is full.

Feed her till she's full You should feed her as much as she wants. If she's acting like she might be hungry, offer her food. Her body is the best guide to her needs.

When she is hitting a growth spurt, she will need and want more. Other days, not so much. Of course keep your eye on how much she is consuming and if her appetite drops off , she isn't wetting/soiling her diaper as frequently, or if you are concerned that she isn't gaining weight fast enough, discuss with her doctor.

You hopefully can get in touch with the doctor or a nurse over the phone between appointments. Don't be shy about calling - most new parents are calling the pediatrician weekly! Enjoy!

Your baby will let you know... We formula fed our kids and they definitely let us know when they were done. The amounts that the pediatrician gives you are guidelines---such that if you are way above or way below the amount being suggested it warrants further investigation. I remember being scared about making a mistake in this area, especially because we were using formula.....but the baby will let you know.

You've already seen the signs....turning the head away, maybe swatting at the bottle or spitting up a little. And you have seen the opposite too.....crying or fussy because they are hungry. They will tell you....just listen.

Hang in there! .

I didn't really use any set formula first and foremost, congrats on the baby.... secondly, if your baby is growing, thriving (meeting most developmental milestones), and is happy, then you are doing a great job, and I wouldn't worry too much..... thirdly, don't put too much weight on the growth charts.... your baby may be big or small according to them, but they don't measure happiness! With that being said, here is my answer...... I always just took the cues from my babies. Mine are now 2 and 4, and if they seemed hungry, I fed them more, and if they were full and I was just oblivious and tried to feed them more, they would refuse.... I would do the same.

If you think your baby is hungry, keep feeding, and if it seems like s/he is not getting enough by breastfeeding (if you are), try supplementing with formula.... if you think you need a set amount, you can always call the advice nurse at your peds office and they should be able to tell you a more concrete number....

In general, you should let your baby eat when hungry. The formula used by pediatricians, however, is the following:Baby's Weight x 2.5 = Number of ounces needed per day(Ex: 16 lb baby x 2.5 = 40 ounces)This is just a guideline. Every baby is different!

What can I feed him?" "my 4 month baby is 10 pounds and was born 7.15 pounds and still drinks only 3 ounces of milk per feed 5 times a day. " "can I feed my 13 month old baby seafood" "can a 3 month old bottle fed baby be taught to breast feed? " "how often should I feed my 7 month old beagle?" "Which bottles should I use to feed my baby?

" "how many times a day do I feed a 6 month old baby? " "At what age should a baby feed itself its own bottle?

Is it ok to feed different formula to your baby or should you keep the same kind.

My 4 month baby is 10 pounds and was born 7.15 pounds and still drinks only 3 ounces of milk per feed 5 times a day.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
