Is this normal

My son was born weighing 8lbs 3oz and was 20 inch long. He is almost 3 weeks old and I looked up that a newborn in his first month should only eat 1-2 oz per feeding. Now my son will eat anywhere from 1-4 oz usually 3 oz is what he eats. Is this normal to be eating more than he's supposed to?

  • Everyone is different. The 'books' can only tell you what's average. As long as he's healthy and getting good reports from his doctor, then don't worry. You'll have plenty of things to worry about your son in the future. Take it from me, I've gone through it 3 times before and am going through all the same currently with my 1 year old. He was born premature and weighed 2 lbs and 12 ounces. Count your lucky stars that you didn't have to deal with that. Good luck man.
