The boys are active and playing everyday.
I wonder why some people tell me that they feed every 4 hours.
The hospital told me every 4hrs, each time 30ml.
Or maybe that's just the first few days. I am not sure.
But even baby doctor says so before i told him how much they are drinking.
- - - - -
The boys are on 80~90ml of breast milk/feed or 60 ~ 70ml of formula milk/feed
and they feed every 2hours or so.
I thought there must be something we did wrong and i decided to confirm with 2 person.
First - My eldest sister. Who confirmed that they are as such for the 1st month and like to play and stay awake. Thus the need for confinement lady (and the amount they are paid) to take care of the new born. Hmmm sounds correct already. No matter what, she have taken care of 2 boys.
Second - Jeremy. Wife just gave birth to a girl. He confirmed his girl is doing 80 ~ 100ml of breast milk ever 1hour. Sometimes 2hour. As for formula, he has no idea as the confinement lady does that for him.
So in conclusion, feeding time of 2hours is very regular for the first one month as the baby starts to grow and feel hungry from staying awake.
The amount of milk to give really depands on the baby's appetite and should be given as per demand to encourage growth.
Oh no.. Daddy going to start travelling tomorrow again. Going miss my boys!
But have to work hard for milk powder and diapers money wor!

You want a formula that can estimated how much milk that baby wld need? Its given to me by Siang dietrican when he was young but..its just an estimation :p
Here it go : Weight x 150ml divide 8 (this is more for FM)
yes, i found the formula too.
but the "8" is a figure you have to enter based on the number of feed a day.
So if you feed 6times a day,
the formula will be
Amount = (Weight x 150ml)/6
Hope it helps whoever is reading.
Hehee
:) correct. yes, not all know abt this formula and many puzzle over how much feed is enough and is there any over/under feed.
this formula would provide a general guideline :)
