How much milk your lo have?
Hi all
My ds is now 9 days old and eatin for Britain!!! I'm breastfeeding and also expressing and bottle feeding and quite often he's having almost 7oz but most of the time about 5-6oz. He then goes about 2.5 to 4 hours in between feeds. Is this right as I don't remember my twin girls eating this much at their age although they were alot smaller. My ds is 8lb 4oz. Should I just feed as much and how often that he wants or am I over feeding him? He's never sick or anything either.
Any advice greatly received!

I think my LO was taking around 3-4oz of BM at that age but was probably feeding every 2-3 hours. BM is easier to digest than formula so you can't compare exactly.
I wouldn't worry, just be glad that he likes his milk xx
