Re: Mommies of newborns
Dd is 11 weeks already, but what you describe sounds pretty much like what she was like at 3 weeks. I wasn't totally sure how many ounces she was taking at each feedin since I nursed most of the time, but when she did get the bottle it was about 3-4 ounces. But the 4-5 hour stretches is pretty much how much she slept at night.

Re: Mommies of newborns
DS is just shy of 5 wks old. He is taking 3-4 oz any where from 1.5 - 3 hrs. He is sleeping anywhere from 3-5 hrs at night. We have found that if we feed DS his last night time bottle while he is 1/2 asleep frm his night nap, he sleeps a longer stretch.

Re: Mommies of newborns
My DS is two weeks old and wakes up to eat anywhere between 1-3 hours...I am nursing though so I expect him to do this for another month or so. I can't wait to get a nice solid 5 hours! With DS#1 I gave him both BM and formula and he gave me 4 hours at night right away. I don't want to formula feed DS#2 formula until he is a little bit older and my milk supply is established.

Re: Mommies of newborns
my DD is eating 2.25 oz on demand or every 2/3 hrs. plus I am supplementing her with BF (and lately she has been taking 1 oz an hr later - sometimes if she seems hungry) this is throughout the day then at night she goes longer (I have been able to get a good 3/4/5 hr stretch of sleep)

DS is 3 weeks old... he eats anywhere from 2.5-4 oz every 3 hours...but usually around 3. I wish he'd sleep for 4-5 hours at a time! He is usually up by 3 hours and sometimes even less than that.
