my son is 2 months 9 days old and sleeps through the night. he takes around 8 feeds of 100 ml each of nan 1 in a twenty four hour period. Of these 8 feeds 2 are in the night when he is sleeping and doesn' t demand feed, i only wake him up and feed him cos i have read somewhere that at this age he needs to take 700 to 800 ml a day. Do i need to wake him up in the night? he doesn' t take more than 100 ml in each feeding so increasing the quantity at each feed is out of question.please help as i dunno what to do am worried if he will get enough nutrition if i dont wake him and feed him in the night. mandeep replied. trust me sweetheart 800ml is enough n if he is hungry he will let u know. so pl. pl. dont worry enjoy your lil bundle of joy.
i ask again
is he a happy baby?
putting weight ?
if u say yes to both u get the answer yourself
all babies r different n what ever is wrtten on formula tins is just a guideline. mandeep replied. forgot to write this if your baby is happy n gainig n weight that' s what really matters i wrote this before also many times so same for you also love. your baby will deffo. let u know if he in hungry as babies can' t cope hunger trust me. i have gone through all this last year. MANDEEP replied. 4 ounces ( is about 120ml) every three hours but then it depend may be your baby is a hungry baby want more milk then what is average .regarding sleeping my son is 11 months old n still wake up some night if he is hungry. at 2 months 9 days your baby tummy is still very small and cant take 8 ounce of milk in one go. make one ouce more then the normal milk n see if your baby drinks if he is happy n don' t thrown it out that means he can take more milk then what u give him but then may be one feed he will take more then 2nd less its just as a mum u will come to know they says it mum' s wrold. gauri replied. many people had advised me to do this waking up from sleep...
but i realise d my baby use to cry a lot...and she wudnt drink milk alos...
thats y i stopped doing that...
anyways ur baby is small now..let her complete 3 to 4 motnhs ..even u wl coem in our category ..u too will compleain my baby gets up too often...
dont worry
