@vespin My 3.5 week old is eating 3oz every 3 hours. It will take a week or two for a baby to adjust to anything. Is your baby staying on the growth curve or is she skyrocketing? How much is she eating total per day? 5oz every 2 hours even overnight is 60oz per day, which is double the average...

@joyful0128 I love wool, but when I gift cloth wool has to be asked for because it's easy to mess up. Like right now I'm buying diapers for my brother and his wife, they both have learning disabilities (baby was not planned) so we're going with the most simple and easy to wash diapering options...

@carrythecross "What? She doesn't work, she can start drinking whenever."

@pink1310 I sewed my daughter's diapers and training pants myself, hell no I am not throwing away an hour of work because it got a little poop on it!

@eilightened No one ever really cares, and if they do care and choose to comment they were going to find something to complain about anyway. Besides, how do they know what's in your kid's bottle?

@fredthefrench My 4 week old drinks 3oz every 3 hours. I think they still need an ounce an hour, just like breastfed babies. Especially as formula gets closer and closer to breastmilk.

@abaca55 Check with your child's doctor to see if you need to boil water. Boiling water is to sterilize the powdered formula, but most healthy infants don't need sterilized formula.

@wisdom08 Thirsties has better resale value than babygoal, or you could dinate knowing the Thirsties will have a longer productive life than cheapies. Or, buy a couple of each.

@itsdagis My 7 weeker is using the size 3 as well, 4 is still way too fast. I don't think she'll need size for until at least 5 months, 4 at the earliest.

@leanora No idea. I think it's because it's not as filling so babies wake more often to eat and don't sleep as deeply.

@ddavis The safest cosleeping position is still much less safe than baby being in their own sleep space.

@redvelvetcake A lot of people think formula is the opposite of breastmilk, when they're actually extremely close fluids with a few minor differences.

@mike_l Breastmilk decreases the risk of SIDS, but formula DOES NOT increase the risk of SIDS. It has no affect on the baseline. I get it, sometimes a baby will only sleep in your arms and a parent has to weigh all the odds and make the choice of cosleeping or not. If you follow the other harm...

@silvestersloon My bub is 9 weeks and the spit up has finally started to settle. If baby isn't crying or projectile puking out formula, they're most likely fine. It will get better as they get older. Invest in some cute bibs to help save the outfits.

@wisper The same as the prewash you would do with a full load. For me it's a cold heavy duty cycle with half cup Biz and half cup Foca detergent. If you aren'd going to do the second wash right after you want to hang the diapers on a drying rack to avoid molding between main wash and drying.

@augusto Between 20-24oz. 7 weeks, 9lbs-ish. The doctor said an ounce an hour was fine since she's still growing and has no other issues. She eats 3oz every 2.5-3 hours.

@prophoss How old is your baby? If they stop at 5 ounces and are content they may just not be that hungry anymore. Babies will sometimes have periods where they eat slightly less in a day or want less formula more often.

@universalistanthony It can take up to two weeks for baby's digestion to settle. 4-6 weeks old is a crazy time for gas and tummy trouble. If the partially hydrolyzed formula doesn't help after a few weeks, you may need to try soy formula or fully hydrolyzed formula.

@universalistanthony Go for partially hydrolyzed, actual lactose intolerance is rare in infants.

@universalistanthony Is your doctor thinking the baby has a protein allergy? Most babies with cmpa outgrow it by three years old, so using a non-dairy formula now has no bearing on being able to drink cow's milk in the future.
