How much should a 6 week old baby eat?
Formula-Fed Babies:
- Weeks 1-2: 2-3 ounces every 2-3 hours
- Weeks 3-4: 3-4 ounces every 3-4 hours
- Weeks 5-6: 4-5 ounces every 4-5 hours
Breastfed Babies:
- Weeks 1-2: 1-2 ounces every 1-2 hours
- Weeks 3-4: 2-3 ounces every 2-3 hours
- Weeks 5-6: 3-4 ounces every 3-4 hours
These are just general guidelines, and the actual amount your baby needs will vary. Always follow your baby's cues and feed them when they seem hungry. If you have any concerns about your baby's feeding, talk to your doctor.
