A 2-week-old baby typically eats about 2 to 3 ounces per feeding. They usually feed every 2 to 3 hours, which means around 8 to 12 feedings in a 24-hour period. This totals approximately 16 to 36 ounces per day, depending on the baby's appetite and feeding frequency
. Breastfed babies may feed more frequently but often take smaller amounts per feeding compared to formula-fed babies, as breast milk digests faster
. Formula-fed babies at this age generally consume about 2 to 3 ounces per feeding and may go slightly longer between feedings
. In summary:
- Amount per feeding: 2 to 3 ounces
- Frequency: Every 2 to 3 hours (8 to 12 times per day)
- Total daily intake: Approximately 16 to 36 ounces
Feeding on demand, watching for hunger cues, is recommended rather than strict scheduling
