How much should my 10 day old baby be eating?

Question

She only takes in about three ounces is this normal for her size or should i be concerned also she eats about every two to three hours....

Answer 1

That is normal my baby for the first two weeks would eat under two oz. You will be fine buy the time my baby was a month old he was eating 3 oz.

Answer 2

It is perfectly normal for your newborn to have 3 oz every 2-3 hours. You really should contact your doctor's office with any other questions since they have your daughter's personal info.

Answer 3

Nope three oz sounds about right, then when they reach a month you can up that to four oz.

They have little tummys, can only take in so much at a time

Answer 4

My daughter is 16 days old and drinks 2 to 2 1/2 oz a feeding. Your baby is getting plenty to eat. Just remember that their tummies are tiny so don't try to force them to eat. As long as she is getting 2 oz then she is just fine. She will let you know if she is full or still hungry
