A was 2.7kgs (6 pound 1 oz).

My midwife taught me a tricky little formula to work out exactly how much bubs needs is;

150 x weight in kgs = 'x'

And then you divide 'x' by the amount of feeds per day..

So when A was weighed 1 1/2 weeks ago she was 2.6kgs:-

150 x 2.6 = 390
390 divided by 8 (roughly how many feeds per day) = 50mls which is pretty much what she was having every feed!

Also 150 is the amount of calories a newborn should intake per day.

But that is only a guideline.. My midwife said that if bubs is hungry and is demanding then let them have as much as they want!

So long as he is steadily gaining weight and is happy then let the boy eat
