2 month old feeding schedule
How often does your 2 month old eAt?
DD sleeps through the night 10-12 hours
She was eating every 1.5-2 hours during the day
But I just discovered I'm not producing enough Brest milk for her and we are now supplementing after each feeding with formula (1-2 ounces )
So I'm not sure now how often I should be feeding her !

At that age, DS was EBF and I fed him on demand.
Eta: how do you know you're not producing enough milk? Was you daughter not gaining weight appropriately?

At her most recent appointment
She lost weight
She throws up a lot and cries a lot so we also think there is a reflux issue

Agreed. If you're going by how much you pump, that's not exactly accurate. Even the best pump on the market is nowhere near as efficient as your baby.
Has your pediatrician said anything about baby sleeping 10-12 hours at night? My ped. was adamant that I wake her at night for a feeding and she was growing like a weed. Now she's 3 months and they seem to be more okay with her sleeping straight through and even that's only 8 hours, not 12, plus she seems to nurse a little more often before bed.
But she'd roughly nurse every 2-3 hours at 2 months.
ETA: That's when I started back at work so if she was getting a bottle of breast milk, it was between 4 and 5 oz. every 2- 3 hours.

We are formula feeding. We offer her 4 oz every 3-4 hours. Sometimes she finishes it, most times she doesn't. She usually takes about 3 oz. Sometimes she sleeps through a bottle in the afternoon and so she's hungry again 2 hours after her last bottle, so we feed her again to make up for the missed bottle.

DS is 3 months today and formula fed. He's on average 6 ounces every 3-4 hrs. He's a huge baby lol. But there are times that he naps a long time so he skips a feeding. He started sleeping through the night recently so he also makes up for it during the day.
