💡 Feeding Tips Every Parent Should Know

🤱 Breastfed Babies

Breastfed babies self-regulate — they consume 19-30 oz/day regardless of age. Don't force a schedule; follow hunger cues like rooting and lip smacking.

🍼 The 2.5 oz Rule

For formula: multiply baby's weight (lbs) × 2.5 = total daily oz. Divide by number of feeds. This is a guideline — your pediatrician may adjust.

😊 Hunger Cues

Rooting, lip smacking, sucking on hands = early hunger. Fussiness and crying are late cues. Feed before crying begins for a calmer experience.

📏 Signs of Enough

6+ wet diapers/day, steady weight gain, contentment after feeds, and meeting developmental milestones = baby is getting enough.
