How much to feed newborn
My 9 day old baby drinks 90ml of breast milk per 2.5-3hrs and the doc said newborns that age usually drink 60ml. My MIL keeps secretly increasing to 100ml and idk if it’s ok. Anybody help!!
At 9 days the stomach isn’t so big. If we forcefeed so much, baby will likely regurgitate/vomit the milk out. If it comes out from the mouth, that’s not so bad, but there is still a chance then when the baby vomits, the milk will go into the lungs instead and cause pneumonia.
oh no, its not ok! i think its too much... u r lucky if she nvr vomit like merlion😂 when my bb 9days old only drink 60-70ml every 2.5-3hrs
When my girl first weeks birth I gave 60ish ml .. when's shes at 3weeks old than drink about 90ml. Tell them they are both over feeding.
90ml is a lot for 9day old baby https://www.smartparents.sg/baby/how-much-breastmilk-should-baby-take-infographic
My confinement nanny also fed my baby 90ml (from day 3 to day 14), sometimes up to 100ml. Dr said overfeeding.
90ml is already too much for a 9do. Oreover, Over feeding may cause colic and vomiting.
