I how old is the baby before u can prop her/his bottle in a carset

Question

My baby just truned 4 weeks old on wed.N how many oz of Formula can they have at 4 weeks.I can get my baby 4 oz n after that she wants more.so how many oz can they have at 4 weeks

Answer 1

Never prop a bottle.  the baby can start to choke and not be able to move the bottle out the way.  Every baby is different.  My son was 4 weeks old taking 4 ounces, but I have a friend who's little boy was taking 6 ounces at 4 weeks.  

Answer 2

they say 4-5 oz at 4 weeks. but you will know when baby is full just dont over feed the baby. I am having a feeding problem with  my son too. As for the carseat you shouldnt ever prop a bottle they can choke and also get an ear infection from the formula dripping. just found that out at the hospital a few days ago when my son was getting blood takin and i was feeding him laying down so maybe he wouldnt think about the pain.  

Answer 3

3 - 4 oz is what's recommended for your baby's age, but if she seems to want more just offer her another bottle.  She'll refuse it when she's had enough.  I wouldn't prop a baby up with a bottle any time, it's possible to choke.

Answer 4

feed her as much as she wants, babies cant be 'fat' def not at 4 weeks

and 4 weeks is ridiculously early to prop, which shouldnt be done at all

i only prop when im holding her so i can have one free hand, but i never do it when shes aloneor just leavwe her\

i know ill get thumbs down for saying i prop, but come on, at least im not one of the ppl who put the bottle in the baby prop and walk away.... she is ALWAYS in my arm when feeding

Answer 5

When they are 6 years old and no longer at risk of choking and ear infections from propping a bottle.

Seriously people pulling over is not that big a deal.

Answer 6

There is no limit. Feed her until she is full. Have her weight monitored and if it is OK then carry on feeding her as much as she wants. Never leave a baby hungry.
