How many ounces does/did your 2-3 week old eat per feeding?
My DD is quite the eater. She'll have 4 ounces easily and sometimes isn't satisfied!

My son started drinking 4 ounces during his second week, which is a lot for that age, but he didn't do it with every bottle. He is 2 1/2 weeks old now and drinks anywhere from 3-4.5 ounces per feeding!

At 3 days old he was consuming 3-4 ounces per feeding and up to 5 at 3 weeks!!! He was always hungry and just sucked it down! Every baby is different...my ped. said you cannot overfeed..if they are overfed they will throw up!

2.5-3oz. a feeding. They self regulate, so feed her what she wants!

about 3 ounces.
now she's 5 weeks and she's up to 5 ounces- although she doesn't take that much at every feeding- sometimes she takes 4, sometimes 3 1/2.

Same here- although only at certain feedings will she take 5. It's more like 4.

I feel so much better now. Mine is 1 week old and eating 3 ounces which sounds pretty accurate to what everyone is stating.

I always fill the bottles to five ounces though b/c i never know which feedings she'll want to pig out on.

Of course I did that for a while and then she stopped drinking 5 ounces. Then the times I don't she wants it so I run like a madwoman to make another bottle!
