Pediatrician Shares: How Much Your Baby Needs to Eat and How to Know They're Getting Enough

Feeding & Nutrition

Doctors Kurt and Sarah Bjorkman, a board certified pediatrician and OB/GYN, use this week's episode to go in to detail about how much babies need to eat for normal growth and development. This episode is for both breast and bottle feed babies, and also provides information to help you know if your baby is getting enough to eat, what signs they might show you before crying that they're hungry, and what you should do if you are worried your baby isn't getting enough to eat.

Been watching your channel since we found out we were pregnant with our first last August. Finally had our baby 3 days ago, what an angel!! I am so grateful for all the helpful videos I’ve watched, I feel much more prepared than I thought possible.

@lynseyfahs8628

I have been watching you guys since I started trying to get pregnant, and now I’m watching this video while breastfeeding my newborn ❤️ thank you for everything! Your videos have helped me tremendously the past year +

@nairuzg8515

I’ve been bingeing your vids for the past 7 months…my wife is due in 2 months, you’ve been a huge help. Thank you!!

@granthughes827

I have a baby boy due in April and your videos have been so helpful in navigating my first pregnancy! Your videos along with advice from others have contributed tremendously to feeling confident my first go around!

@RockyMountainGardener

Thank yall so much !! You two have been an amazing help to me and my 6 week old. God bless you and your family! :)

@user-mz4ud8zp5j

You guys are a lifesaver. My baby would never nap throughout the day at the ripe age of 4 months old. He stopped napping. He was starting to develop bags under his eyes, Then, i followed your advice and he fell asleep in 8 minutes. I feel hope again!!

@The_Joyful_Homemaker

These videos have been incredibly helpful for me during my 4-week postpartum journey. I truly appreciate all your suggestions for both mom and baby. Please keep sharing more content—sending love your way!

@take-away_taz

You’re advice gives so much comfort and help us to feel not alone as new parents.

@elisanansel2977

Thank you so much for confirmation that sleep training/learning is okay 💕i was so scared to traumatize my baby but this makes sense

@wenjunbleeker6020

Just had our first baby yesterday after trying for 10 years. Nothing has got us more prepared as we can be more than this channel. Every night we would lay down and watch a vid you guys did and it helped keep us sane as we waited for the little guy to get here. You guys are the best!

@LOGO_yo

I’ve been following you guys for my entire pregnancy, my baby girl is three days old today and your videos have been soooo helpful during this wonderful but scary experience. Thanks!

@emiarias2454

Your channel is such a beautiful combination of medical expertise and personal experience. Thank you so much for all of your time and effort in creating this amazing content!

@Luke-mt8dr

You have been SO helpful as I navigated several rounds of IVF, a miscarriage, and finally our April baby. Thank you for your well researched and informative videos!

@LeaHandler

I've been following your channel since my first pregnancy years ago, and you guys are always such an excellent source of information. Thanks for doing what you do.

@heather9130
