In a regular day she eats between 32 to 40 oz of formula and solids 3 times a day, yet is long but skinny. Last time i had her weighed i was told to feed her more.

My first child was a rollie - pollie. Second, long and lean. Third, chunky monkey little fatty. I fed all my babies as much as they wanted. No measuring or cut off points. They were all happy and healthy despite very different appetites and body types. Doctors are very helpful, but you know your baby. If she's very active, she'll burn calories faster than other babies. Feed her when she's hungry and I'm sure she'll be fine. If there are no medical problems, and she eats well, she's just a skinny minnie. Not all babies are built the same!

if you breast feed for as long as baby needs which is about 20 minutes. burp the baby in between breasts and after wards. if the baby is bottle fed about 4 ounces formula (not regular milk). burp baby half way through and at the end of the bottle.
hope this helps

A baby needs a lot of fat to help brain development. Just stop feeding her when she refuses to eat. Don't limit her.

Formula mostly, and soilds secondly. Babies literally can't overeat. They'll stop you when they're full.

If she is hungry feed her. If you are feeding her and she looses interest or spits it out she is all done.
