how much should a 4 week be eating?

edited October 2011 in Babies
I just started giving her 5 oz last night. She wasn't sleeping as long, waking up hungry, and still rooting even after she finished a bottle. I guess if she didn't want it, she wouldn't take it..?hi

Also, what are the symptoms of reflux? I know the projectile vomiting can be one.. but she only does it occasionally..

    My lil girl is 5 wks eats 5-6 oz every 4-5 hrs. Your baby will only eat what he/she wants :)
  • @amab13 not yet he eats 9 midnight then at four or five in the am
  • Yea my baby has reflux too. Sometimes has silent reflux but most of the time just spits it up.. if you use formula try similac spitup. My son gets hungry after he spits it up abd he also sounds as if he is conjested after he eats. My dr said to sit him up to eat anf after he eats keep him up right.
