🧠 Practical tips

* Follow hunger cues: crying, rooting, sucking hands = hungry; turning away = full
* Overfeeding can increase risk of excessive weight gain, but strict restriction isn’t recommended either
* Intake naturally varies day-to-day
* Growth the key indicator of adequacy

Instead of focusing only on ounces, pediatricians often ask:

* Is the baby growing along their curve?
* Are they satisfied after feeds?
* Are there enough wet diapers (≥6/day after newborn period)?

Evidence-based guidelines for infant formula intake are usually given as ranges, because babies vary a lot in appetite and growth. Pediatric recommendations (from groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics) are based on weight, age, and feeding cues rather than a strict fixed amount.

CDC report for this week
* As of September 4, 2026, the amount of acute respiratory illness causing people to seek health care is very low.
* National and regional COVID-19 activity is increasing.
* RSV activity is very low in most areas of the country.
* Seasonal influenza activity is low.
* Rhinovirus/Enterovirus (RV/EV) is increasing nationally.

08/29/2026

CDC report for the week of August 24–28, 2026

* Overall respiratory illness: CDC reports that the amount of acute respiratory illness causing people to seek healthcare is very low nationally.
* COVID-19: Increasing nationally and regionally. CDC estimates that COVID-19 infections were growing or likely growing in 48 states as of August 26.
* Rhinovirus/Enterovirus: Increasing nationally, which fits well with the common cold–type symptoms I’m seeing—runny nose, congestion, cough and sore throat.
* Influenza: Still low. The most recent CDC FluView data showed only 0.7% of clinical respiratory specimens positive for influenza for the week ending August 15.
* RSV: CDC’s current national picture does not indicate a major RSV surge; my observation of only a few cases is consistent with RSV not being the dominant respiratory virus right now.
