My girl Reiya is almost 6 weeks now and she has about 3oz of formula every 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hrs. How much is your baby eating? I know every baby is different but I'd like to get an idea of how other babies are doing.

My son is 6 weeks old and takes 4-5oz every 3-4 hours. Until I read these posts I was worried that he was eating too much as my doctor told me that he should only be having 15-25oz/day, but now I see that many babies are just like him and that makes me feel much better, at least now I feel like I'm not doing anything wrong.

My son is 8 weeks and takes 5-6 oz every 3-4 hours. sometimes he goes longer, though- at night he generally sleeps for at least 5 or 6 hours, but then he'll take about 7 oz.

My son is 4 weeks old and he is eating 4ozs every 3 hours but I think he is ready to drink more because he finishes every drop. I wonder if I feed him more if he will sleep more at night:)

My baby has a strange schedule. She's 6 weeks old. During the day she drinks 6 ounces every 3-6 hours, and at night she drinks 4-6 ounces and sleeps for 4-7 hours. I don't know if she is eating too much, or not enough. I don't know the rate of growth, honestly. But I'm not going to starve her, I just don't want her to be horribly obese (excuse that if it sounds shallow, it wasn't supposed to sound that way I swear!).

our daughter is 7 wks old; she takes about 25 oz bottles every 24hrs (4oz at 5 or 6 am, then she'd go back to sleep); another 5oz shortly thereafter, and will spread out the rest over the rest of the day, with one 4hr afternoon nap. then she'll go to bed about 9pm.

Quinn is 3 weeks old and taking about 2 oz's every 3-4 hours. I am just supplementing breastfeeding with formula, in case I dont make enough milk. I think I do, but its just so much easier to have him alright with a bottle.

my son is 3 weeks old today and is on 3/40z every 3 to 4 hours. once your baby starts to finish the 30z make up bottles with 40z and you will find she will take it....if she starts to fuss soon after having a feed try her with cooled boiled water as she may just be thirsty.

we've had a fair bit of trouble with feeding. our lo is 17 days old and still only takes 2oz every 3ish hours... that's on a medium flow teat. if he goes over the 2oz he just sicks it all back up and then is starving an hour later... we're getting there, slowly
