@ ashley_smashley Yes his pedi said he 95% bigger then the babys his age and they told me to try to feed him 3 oz every 3 hours... Which I couldn't do because he would scream his head off and I felt like I was starving him! Right now he eats 5 oz every 4 hours and then at night I give him a 6 oz bottle around 8pm and he doesn't eat again until 5am or 6am...
He was ebf till five months and even now he only has breakfast and tea which is usually veg and fruit, but in those first five months he was pretty much attached to my boobs lol
Hey Hun when you tag people don't put a space between the @ and their name. Like this @ashley_smahley
Did you tell your doctor about the fact that that little if food doesn't fill him up? My LO eats quite a bit more than that at each feeding. I would just keep feeding him what makes him happy.
My son weighs 16.1 at 4months and is 26.5" long. 3oz every 3 hours doesn't seem like enough. My son is bf but when I pump I get 5-7oz out per side...so I assume he gets around that amount each feeding. He eats on demand about every 3 hours.
At 4 1/2 months, my daughter was 14lbs, 12oz and 27 inches. She'll be 5 months on Wednesday. Not sure what she is now, but I'm guessing a little over 15lbs.
At that age I think mine weighed 14 lbs. She's 10 months now and weighs 21 lbs. If your dr ain't worried then I wouldn't worry all babies are different
