Loey is 7 weeks. I BF while I'm home, but when I'm at work he takes 3.5-4.5 ounces of BM every 3-3.5 hours

DD is 8 weeks and I am EBF so I don't know how many oz she is taking. But she is normally eating about every 3 hours right now. Sometimes she needs to eat sooner, sometimes she goes longer. But I would say we are averaging every 3 hours.

Re: 6-8 week olds eat ____oz every_____ hours..
My son seems to be a big eater... He eats 5 oz every 3 hours at 8 weeks. Now he is almost 12 weeks and seems to be able to hold off a little at nighttime but I remember with my first son, he would never miss a feeding and he was also a big eater.
Every baby seems to be different. 
ETA: My baby is formula fed.

Glad it helped! Whenever I would tell someone or a doctor how much my son was eating, they always seemed surprised - I used to hesitate in telling people. But he seems to want it and is not spitting up so I am feeding him that amount and the doctor has also agreed that I should continue to give that amount.
