Hi everyone... I had my baby boy june 1st
at 4:07pm, he was 8lbs 1oz and 20 inches
long. Iam so happy he's here. I have a
couple of questions how many oz of formula
does a newborn drinks?. Iam also
breastfeeding how long does he have to
stay in each breast? When would he start
sleeping through the night? Ok one
more... Is it normal for him to poop
every time he has a bottle? Sorry so many
questions ladies. Iam just a little
concern :cry:

Ok im not quite exact.. I know every baby
is different but when it comes to fomula
it should be between 3-6 oz a feeding..
Depending on size and health.. You should
really ask your doc on that.. Where as
breastfeeding you should really let him
decide. He will know when he is
finished.. It may be quite sometime
before he will sleep through the night..
My son didnt sleep through the night until
he was about 8 months old. But then again
my little brother who is two years younger
slept through the night at 5 months. So
it varies.. Congrats on your new
miracle.. Take care and enjoy all the
time that you do spend with him.. It will
go by and you'll miss it!

Cogratulations on your new arrivial. My
daughter didn't sleep through til a week
before her 1st birthday but my son was
sleeeping through by 2 weeks old. That
just shows how every baby is different.

Congrats! Usually newborns drink maybe 2
oz every couple of hours (not my son
though) but if you're breastfeeding you
just leave him there, but make sure to
start on the opposite breast the next
feed. As for sleeping through the
night....Who knows? Trey will be 1 in 2
weeks and still does not sleep through the
incredibly night!!
