He is def having the right output with wet and dirty, is gaining weight and length, and isnt crying for more! I will relax a little... FTM!! ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/of-feedings-vs-of-ounces-a-day#post-1521126 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 19:51:15 +0000 Applesandbananas 1521126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he's within the ballpark on average, I wouldn't worry. We had a preemie and our ped had us keep track of intake as a rolling average in conjunction with diaper output, he never gave us a specific number of feedings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/of-feedings-vs-of-ounces-a-day#post-1520830 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 17:00:27 +0000 Pumuckl 1520830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he is content I'd not change anything<br /> You should trust your mummy instincts, so if you feel he is fine, he probably is :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/of-feedings-vs-of-ounces-a-day#post-1520829 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 17:00:05 +0000 loveisstrange 1520829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go by amount. But honestly, as long as he is gaining and having good output, don't stress too much.</p> <p>It sounds like hes eating just fine. Recommendations are just that. They're not always true or accurate for all babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/of-feedings-vs-of-ounces-a-day#post-1520821 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 16:54:03 +0000 citymouse 1520821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your baby was getting the recommended amount of ounces a day, but one less feeding than recommended...what would you do? </p> <p>We feed DS every 3 hours during the day and then typically twice at night, but thats only 6-7 feeds. He is however getting the recommended amount of formula. He does not cry for more during the day. Only really crying when he is tired or irritated. </p>
