2 Week Old

My 2 week old is on formula and can drink 2-3oz every 3-3 and half hours. On a good feed he takes the 3oz but more often than not he only takes the 2oz. FT mum so not sure if this is enough? He seems happy and content enough just feel as if maybe he isn't getting enough 😕

If he wasn't getting enough he'd soon let you know about it! Remember that if he was breastfed you wouldn't have a clue how much he was having. Don't worry OP, newborn babies are very good at self regulating their milk intake.

@Pineapplefish thank you ☺️. I did think that but guess I just worry too much. Thanks for the reassurance xx

As long as he is doing plenty nappies he's fine! As pp said, your LO will soon let you know if they have an empty belly!
