How many ounces per feeding is your child drinking?

 I have no idea. When I give her a bottle, I know she grazes, anywhere from 2-6 oz. She must be getting more like 4-6 from me.
She gets 2-3 bottles a day and the rest are BF.

Re: BF moms with 3 to 3.5 mth olds...
no idea - i am guessing how many oz. he takes in when he nurses but i think he is going thru a growth spurt because he has been nursing for almost 40 minutes (both sides, 20 min a side) the past few days.
i BF twice a day and he gets 3 bottles. we just modified his feeding schedule so it looks like this:
5:30, 6am - BF
9:00am - 8 oz.
1:00pm - 6 oz.
5:30pm - BF
7:30, 8pm - 8 oz.
(i am thinking he probably gets 6-7 oz. when he BFs.)

My daughter was born the same day your son was. I just bumped her up to 5 ounces three times per day and she is BF in the morning 5:00am and 7:00pm,9:00pm then i top her off at 11:00pm. Should i be giving her more throughout the day you think?
My mom said she drank 6 ounces the other day but I dont want to overfeed her.
