How much and how often your 1-month-old should eat

Your 1-month-old needs to eat anywhere from every 90 minutes to every 3 hours. Remember, that timing is based on when they STARTED eating.

Here’s what that would look like: Your baby begins eating at 10:30 a.m., know that you’ll need to start your next feed anywhere from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the very latest (usually much sooner).

At 1 month old, babies should be eating around 4 ounces every four hours.
Don’t forget about burping! If you’re breastfeeding, make it a point to burp each time you switch breasts, and if you’re bottle feeding, try to burp after every two to three ounces.

lol mom of 5 here, I feed them when they are hungry. And never wake a sleeping baby, they need sleep as much as they need food trust me mine were all 90-95% on growth, my last baby slept 8-10hrs at night and he’s fine

Just had a baby and she always wanted to drink every 2 hours. She’s breastfeeding. It was a sleeplessness night but I’m enjoying being a first time mom.

Also it depends if your formula feeding or exclusively breastfeeding. Just had a baby 2 weeks ago and I am trying to mostly breastfeed and I was told that for breastfeeding it’s on demand whenever they want to eat and that they don’t have to wait the 90 minutes to 3 hours. That only applies with formula

I had my first baby last year and just had my second 4 weeks ago, shes CONSTANTLY breastfeeding. Its difficult not getting sleep but i know its not forever. My first baby slept much more

My 2nd born son is 2 weeks old and cluster feeds like crazy…he usually rarely eats every 3 hours more of 45 minutes to the hour…had to change him to formula cause I couldn’t keep up my milk supply and was too sleep deprived to eat.

No, I only feed when they say they are hungry. My baby sleeps 5 hrs, then take feed. And it's completely fine.

My four week old will eat about 4/5 oz every 5 or so hours
Our pediatrician told us since he's a bigger baby and eats more he'll also sleep for longer periods and not to worry about it :)

My 4 week old eats every 3 hours on average with the occasional cluster feed. He's put weight on and sleeps for 4 hours at night 🤷🏼‍♀️

My newborn doesn't want to eat every 3 hours. She eats every 4 hours. I can't get her to eat every 3 hours. She literally refuses and gags.

Mine will be 2 month next week
Still wake up up to 4 times at night to eat

[AT-sdyq]

fed started at 7am.
okay, baby will finish at what time?
need to let them burp, change diaper, and sit for 15-25 mins.
i think this over all feed will be finished at 9ish..
and what?
next feeding is 10am.
😂
DOESN’t make sense.
