Question

*Bottle Feeding* How many ounces per feeding does your 6 week old eat?

Answer 1

Mine drank 4 oz. every 3 hours.

Answer 2

My son drinks about 4 ounces every 2.5 to 3 hours.  

Answer 3

At 6 weeks my son was drinking 4 ounces every 2-3 hours during the day and every 4 or so hours during the night.  At 8 weeks he weighed 14 pounds, so he was a big baby.

Answer 4

Start with 3-4 onces then the baby starts wanting to be fed more then every three hours then increase it to 4-5 ounces.  It isn't the ounces, it is the intervals.  When they get hungrier faster, then thier little tummies have grown and they can take A LITTLE more.  Only increase by the ounce.

Answer 5

2.5 to 3 ounces every 3 hours

Answer 6

My little pumpkin boy is taking 3-5 ounces every 3-4 hours.

Answer 7

My daughter was drinking 2-3 oz every 3 hrs...

Answer 8

Every baby is different.. Between 2-8 weeks my daughter's appetite increased significantly.  One day she would just take 2 oz a feeding, the next it was 4, then 6... It was crazy.  Your baby will let you know what's good for them.  I wouldn't exceed 6 oz per feeding at 6 weeks though.  Their stomachs are still pretty small, and they usually end up just spitting most of it back out.  

Answer 9

At that age he ate about 3 to 4 every 3 hours

Answer 10

She's drinking 3-4 ounces every 3 hours.
