How much are your LO’s drinking?
FTM. My baby is 2 months old. I exclusively breastfeed and pump. My baby is having around 5/5.5oz with a bottle about 3-4x a day. Mostly in the evening and overnight.
This helps him sleep for about 3-4hrs but it feels like a lot for a baby so small! He’s gaining weight fine. But he’s definitely got a LOT more clingy and fussy.
Anyone else in the same boat?

My baby is 3 weeks old and she’s been drinking roughly 3.5oz of titty milk 8+ times a day.
I'm in a similar boat, and my daughter is also 2 months old! I'm breastfeeding as I can't find the time in the day to pump, but she's definitely become fussier and clingier that last week or so! We're trying to get her to take a bottle so my partner can feed her at night (she has before) but she's become fussy with that also now!

My baby is 7.5 weeks. I use this app called Baby Tracker. Some feeds are bigger than others. Sometimes he has 5oz, sometimes he has 3oz or a bit less. His avg is between 22 and 28oz per day for the last couple of weeks. I was told by my pd that you cannot overfeed a baby if you just focus on the hunger cues, so I always give bottle until refusal. If he finishes a bottle, I pour maybe an extra oz and keep going til he pushes the bottle out with his tongue. I only pump and use bottle btw cause of latching issues. Hope this helps!
