[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much are you putting in his bottle? He may need to eat smaller amounts more often. [/quote] The pediatrician said 2oz per feed every 2.5 hours. She said 18-22oz a day but ideally get him to 20oz. He is taking 1-1.5oz only. It’s a struggle to get him to eat more. He’s been eating 12-16oz only. [/quote] My kid, who ended up with severe reflux, but it wasn't diagnosed at that age, was taking about an ounce. I had to feed him every hour. Maybe try smaller, more frequent feedings?[/quote] We have tried frequent smaller feeding and even extending the feedings until 3 hours. He refuses to eat before 2 hours and will still take the same amount at 3 hours. We have to let him rest and nap in between feeding so he has enough energy to eat at his next feed.[/quote]
