1 week old baby

Hello mummies. May I know how much ml do you feed your baby and how frequent? 100ml every 2-3 hours? I’m mixing breast milk and formula

150*baby body weight ÷ no. Of feeds. To see the min. Of how much baby should eat. If ur bb clock is 3 hrs interval then u use hand count.. Best is 12am to 12am. If bm is + 20-30%

100 seems a lot! My 2.5 month old baby is only taking 120ml. You can use the formulae as a rough gauge. (150 x weight ) / no of feeds

You can ask the nurses how much they feed your baby for the first day after birth and follow them for few days then increase it accordingly a

They ask me how Long I feed my baby for each breast hahah. And they didn’t give any formula for my baby.

My 1 week old baby took 60 mL 3 hourly. I increased 5 mL each week thereafter.

60ML and I'll feed once he is awake and start crying...
