How much to feed my baby. 1 month old

Question

My baby is 1 mth old. Feed her 90ml - 100ml every 3hrs. No issues during night times. But during day time, she will sometimes cry for milk every 2hrs. At 2hrs, i will then feed her 60 - 70ml. In this case, can i feed her 90ml 3hrs later? My MIL advise me to feed her every 2hrs in the day and 3hrs at night. Not sure how can i drag from 2hrs in the day to 3hrs at night. Fellow mummies pls advise me am i feeding him right.. how do i know how much to feed my baby?

Hi mummy. I’m in the same boat as you. My LO is currently 1 month and is drinking 90ml every 1.5 to 2hrs in both day and night. I just feed him on demand. But do read your baby’s queues as well. He might not finish the full bottle at times and that’s normal.

Hi hi for new born verrrry very normal to feed on demand ! Not all babies stick to every 3hours. I remember mine i had to feed every 1.5hour😭 i think right you can just continue feeding the normal intake even for every 2hours instead of lesser amount. Meaning 90-100ml every 2 hours. Which is fine. Rheres no such thing as overfeeding cause baby will reject once theyre full or will consistently keep vomitting merlion. How much to feed baby is depends on baby itself.
