Ten week old baby only eats 80mls every 4 hours. is this too little?

Probably ok: Infants should eat about 120 ml/k/day. Does this count all the intake, is baby breastfeeding at all? Do you continue the 4 hr feeds overnight? Is the infant vigourous or tires easily. Is the baby feeding a change or baseline? Is baby voiding with every feed? The true test for adequate intake is adequate growth. If there is a concern take your baby for a wt check to his/her dr.

See gudelines below: The aap recommendation for infants formula fed is: 1 month: 2- 4 ounces x 6- 8 times/day 2 months: 5- 6 ounces x 5 to 6 times 3 to 5 months: 6- 7 ounces x 5 to 6 times the main goal is adequate infant weight gain (20-30g/day) and his well -being.
