Keslyn has a bottle like every 2 to 3 hours. she doesn't drink all 4 ounces at once. Anyone else baby does this? it's so exhausting
Rylie
This is a very normal schedule for her to be on, premix formula in a pitcher in the fridge. Pour as needed (I used the microwave to heat it up after a while bc it does take a minute, just remember to do like 10 sec bursts and swirl it in between

My baby got his shots today and I cried no lie , and then his doctor told me to cut down on his milk because he is 13 pounds and only 3 months I was giving him 4 ounces every 2 to 3 hours now it's only 3 ounces every 3 hours that's what his doctor said.

My newborn has jaundice I’ve been putting her in direct sunlight for 30 minutes a day but she’s extremely sleepy and will only take about 1.5 ounces of milk every 2 hours, what can I do to make it go away?
Charlie
1.5oz every 2 hours for a newborn is good! Did she do phototherapy in the hospital? Definitely get her bilirubin levels checked if you haven't already, phototherapy (blue light therapy) is typically only for 24 hours and super effective. (My baby has jaundice too, it takes time to flush out still). Also just make sure she's eating, she will poop the bilirubin out.

1.5 ounces is quite normal sondont feel like she's "only eating"...,that's perfect. You're doing what you can, it takes up to 2 weeks, sometimes a bit more

My 6week old is refusing to eat every three hours he’s starting to want to eat at every four hours.. he drinks mostly 3 ounces and occasionally 4 ounces from time to time.. is that okay?
Ashley
Yes ma'am it's good he's feeling fuller longer. Wait until he tells you he's hungry. His little tummy isn't that big you gotta remember it's the size of his fist. By day 10 his tummy is the size of a ping pong ball. Your doing great momma try to do his feeding every four hours and make sure you burp him really good I usually try to stop half way through feeding and burp then try to feed the rest. I'm no doctor or professional just telling you what I did and what worked with all four of mine and will do with baby number five due Jan 28th. You got this girl no stress

So my 1month old was drinking 2 1/2 ounces every 3 hours and she was still crying afterwards like she was still hungry so I tried 3 ounces tonight and let’s just say she is completely full and goes right to sleep after burping i should have been doing this instead of feeding off the schedule the doctor gave which was 2 ounces every 2-3 hours

These doctors don't know everything. In most cases, you have to follow your own instincts.
