How much formula?

victoriarenee

Do you feed a newborn? I will be switching lo to formula this week and dont know how much to give him. He's a week old

starrxoxo9

Start with 2 oz per feeding

victoriarenee

Still every 2 to 3 hrs??

starrxoxo9

Yep, and just follow his cues.

My2Boys

Yea we started with two ounces every two or three hours. You'll be able to tell watching them eat if they want more or less, and they will let you know how soon to eat again.

Thank you ladies @starrxoxo9 @My2Boys

Wish me luck! He seemed like 2Oz was too much

Good luck!! It's ok if he doesn't finish all of it. Their tummies are so small at that age!
