    Hi everyone. I was just wondering how much everyone else's babies ate at 3 weeks old. The babies are eating 2-3oz every 3-4 hours right now and I was just wondering if that seemed about the same as everyone else or if they should be eating more or less.

    My babies are almost 3 weeks and they eat 3 ounces every 3 hours, on the nose. They wake up like clockwork every 3 hours for their 3 ounces.

    I mostly BF but, when I do give them supplement they eat 3-4 oz. every 3 hours. I think mine may be going through a growth spurt though.

    okay, this makes me feel so much better! i thought my babies were overeating or we were over feeding, but now i see it's normal to eat that much. whew! (i bf and pump, and will soon need to be supplementing with formula until my milk comes in more)
