Signs of poor feeding in newborn

Newborns should be fed on demand, meaning that they should be fed whenever they seem hungry. In the first few weeks, newborns drink about 1.5–3 ounces (45–90 milliliters) every 2–3 hours.

This amount increases as the baby grows and can take more at each feeding. On average, a newborn drinks about 1–2 ounces of breast milk per feeding, increasing to 2–3 ounces per feeding after the first two weeks. Formula-fed newborns will take about 1–2 ounces per feeding in the first week, gradually increasing to 3–4 ounces at each feeding by the end of the first month.
