New Born and Bottle Feeding
HI Ladies,
Well i gave birth to my beautiful little boy this morning. I am bottle feeding but i just wanted to know how much all your babies drank when new born?!?! He doesnt seem to be eating much at all...he has had about 4-5oz since he was born at 02.08 this morning - is this normal? I keep trying to give him more but he doesnt seem interested...he has however passed lots of poo today and i wonder whether he is just too full of poo to take any food on?!?!
Look forward to your comments and help ladies.

I second what littlelyns said - if your LO is hungry he will let you know Just feed him when he tells you and don't worry about it too much in the first few days. It's quite a traumatic thing being born!! He will take a few days to settle down.

my DS was born close to midnight and he didn't have a feed until about 3pm the following day.....
the MW's told me that they don't eat much for the 1st 24 hours..

We were told to wake Sophie up 3 hourly day and night to begin with, and were told it can get into a bit of a vicious circle as they don't feed as they're sleepy, then they don't have the energy to feed it they don't feed enough, so they sleep more.
I'm in no way saying that'll happen to your little one! Just saying that they'll need feeding little and often.
Congratulations. xxx
