im bottlefeeding

Answer 1

your baby isn't going to starve, but if its a problem of keeping her awake you need to do it. Take off her nightly or job a cold towel on her. She should be eating about 3 oz every two hrs. She will just eat more often if she isn't eating enough at one feeding, making your life more difficult. Good luck.

Answer 2

Here is the thing, is she happy and healthy? Is she having nice wet diapers 3-4 times a day? Is she sleeping well, and not waking up crying? Is she gaining weight at a good rate?
If the answers to these questions are yes, then you have got it right. Babies are instinctual creatures, and will let you know when they need more. She will be fussy, and stop gaining weight if she is not getting enough.
Good Luck

Answer 3

I have two children and from experience I can tell you that is enough. You should only feed them what they can take and as they grow you will notice a change in their intake. She is still use to the routine she was introduced to at birth (the hospital schedule).

Answer 4

Babies will let you know when they are hungry, so you are not starving her. Children go through Growth spirts, where as they will eat a lot more than normal and they may even sleep a lot more than normal, so there will be times that she will let you know that she wants more. As long as she is gaining weight then she is fine.

Answer 5

Same as anyone else, 1-2 beers or glasses of wine per day. Stay away from the hard stuff.

Answer 6

This sounds fine, especially if she is gaining weight and happy and healthy. Most babies will take what they need so try not to worry x

Answer 7

If she finishes the bottles than give her more. She will know what is enough for her.
