I've tried looking for a good website that tells about how much a 9 week old baby should be eating on average, how much they should be eating at a time, and how long on average they should be sleeping, but I can't find any good info. Can some of you help please? =)

I don't know about any websites but I know that on the back of the baby food it says how much they should be eating according to what WEIGHT they are. A very basic guideline for infants up to 4 months is 6-8 feedings a day, for a total of 18-32 ounces. And with sleeping, I presume every website is going to tell you that every babies different.

Each baby is different I know you want an exact amount but that just is not possible. As long as baby has several wet diapers and a poop or two that is normal. Also, are the eyes clear? Does the mouth seem wet inside, is the fontanelle normal on the top of the head (really sunk in is not good). As long as all of the above are ok then baby is ok.
I do not know if you are breastfeeding or not but your body will make what baby needs, and will take a day or so to adjust to growth spurts so you may see a fussy baby from time to time. If you are bottle feeding you probably will be giving 4 oz every 3 to 4 hours or so. Sometimes more, sometimes less during sleepy times. It really is individual for each baby. Some babies wake several times a night and some sleep through. "Usually" they are waking once atleast during the night and during the day they have atleast 2 naps. But again that is just the average and not the rule for all babies.

All babies are different. At 9 weeks my son took 3-4 ounces of formula every 3-4 hours. Some may take more or less. As time goes on you will learn his or her needs for food. If you get more concerned, speak to the doctor or call the local WIC office in your area if you have one. Good luck and congrats on the new arrival.

I go to Babycenter.com. They have information on EVERYTHING. It's a great site and they also tell you devolpmental where your child should be and have a place where parents can talk about various topics. There's also Americanbaby.com. I don't like that site as much but it's still good. Good luck to you and also remember all baby's are different.

With my first being pregnant i changed into at a million cm for about 2 or 3 weeks; i changed into very anxious about exertions to boot because i did not understand what to anticipate. i changed into in worry-free premature exertions for the reason that about seven months and on alot of meds, in spite of the indisputable fact that the contractions were in my again. So at 38 weeks they led to me; I too changed into very done with being pregnant. They began me on pitocin and by no skill something somewhat replaced discomfort smart, then at 11 am my healthcare professional broke my water. it somewhat is at the same time as i somewhat felt my first stomache contraction it really is compared to any discomfort you've ever experienced. 2 hrs later I were given an epiduril. At 2:fifty 9 I had my attractive little boy. Your body produces a chemical that makes you forget all that discomfort once you carry your toddler. it really is nicely worth it!!!

I think my son ate about 6 ounces of formula every 3 hours at that age.

you don't need a website, you need a better pediatrician. mine gave me handouts for every stage that talked about things like that and they also have a nurses line i can call for any questions. maybe you should consider finding a doctor like that. it is a huge help, even now that my son is almost 4.....

Oh, the good old days, when babies were fed and changed when they cried, could sleep when and how much they wanted, and nobody asked about norms.
