Too much or too little??

[Laurenpudney]

My baby is now 12 days old and is having around 120ml of cow and gate formula every 2-3 hours sometimes when she has this much she still seems hungry afterwards and other times she won't actually finish the full bottle before she falls asleep. The cow and gate formula tub says babies from 2 weeks should be having 120ml 5 times in a 24 hour period but that definitely isn't right ?! Just worry that I'm feeding too much or maybe even too little ? I have also read online feeding your baby on demand so as your baby as much and as often as they want.?!

Ignore what's on the tin. All babies are different sizes so it's only relevant for the average baby

A baby should drink 150ml/kgs of the babies weight/24hours. That info was given to me in the hospital by the Paeds team when my daughter was born last Oct

My baby has always been fed as much as she wanted.... I always made sure it was over the minimum amount I calculated. At that age I was doing 8 feeds per 24 hours. Feeding every 3 hours on routine (she was v small so we always woke her for feeds if she hadn't already. Was told to do that by docs)

I second what @PrayingandHoping said, good advice
