i'm nursing a 9 week old little girl and she will nurse for about 20-30 minutes every 2-3 hours. when i'm at work, my husband will give her a 3-4 oz bottle about every 3 hours. some days it's more, some less, but this is about her average. it really depends on your child, but i think a 10 week old should get a total of about 24 oz of breastmilk or formula everyday.

He should eat around 6 oz. of formula or breast milk every 3 to 4 hours, assuming he is a full term baby.

When my son was that age he ate every 3 or so hours, depending how full he got. I nursed him so i am not too sure on the exact amount, but my guess would be around 4-6 oz.

depends on if he is nursing or bottlefed... Nursing babies eat more often because breast milk is digested easier.. Breast fed... anywhere between 2-4 hours.. Or whenever he wants it.. Bottle fed... 3-4??? They also tend to eat more during this point because of 'growth spurts'..

I think by that time, I was giving my child formula mixed with very little cereal like rice cereal beause milk was just not enough for him. Check with your pediatrician.

You should give him as much as he wants as long as he does not get sick in between feedings. If you give him what he wants he will be a happy baby!!

a few ounces every two to three hours.
So long as he's eating when he's hungry it doesnt really matter.
Theyre eating pooping machines at this stage, he's not going to let you starve him.
