How Much Should a Two Week Old Eat??? Posted: 02-02-04 22:26pm


Well my alijah just turned two weeks today and it just seems like hes eating a whole lot( feeding while i'm typing). I mean I kno that thats all they do for a while but I feel like i'm feeding him 4to 5 oz almost every other hour and he sometimes still is hungry. How much is too much?? Lana

Well I dont know but at 2 weeks my little cousins were eating about 4 oz. Every 2-3 hours. But I found a website and this is what they said. Hope this helps!!! Formula - the baby should take at least 11/2 - 2 ounces every 3-4 hours on a scheduled basis. If the baby seems hungry, increase the number of ounces at each feeding rather than feeding more frequently. Again, there is no need for cereal, babyfood or vitamins. Supplements of water may be given.

Its pefectly normal for him to eat that much as long as he isn't spitting it all up like dominicksmommy said. Was he a large baby at birth? What is his weight? ~sara~

You Should Watch What He Eats Posted: 02-03-04 10:37am


I have been told that you can never over feed a baby, its a lie. I have a friend who's 14 week old baby is the same weight as my 2y/o..... 12 kg or 25pounds. Depending where you come from. If you are formula feeding follow the instructions supplied to you on the tin, remember though breast is best..... If you are concerned take him to the doctor and get him checked, the doc is really your best advice giver cause he can look at bub 4 u. :d
