How much does your NB eat per serving?
My DD just turned 5 weeks and she seems to be eating a ton. She was eating four ounces every 3-4 hours and it wasn't satisfying her - not sleeping between feedings, cranky, etc. We went to the pediatrican, and she said we can increase to about 5-5 1/2 ounces if she can tolerate it. Sure enough, she can! However, THAT isn't really filling her up and she's crying because she's hungry really soon after. DH and I increased it to about 6-6 1/2 ounces a feedings and it seems to be what she needs. It just seems like so much! I'm worried she's eating too much. She is sleeping about four hour stretches through the night, but during the day, she totally fights napping. I don't know if it's related to her not being full enough (we just increased to the 6 ounces) and therefore not sleeping during the day.
What does your DC eat at a serving, and how often? Any advice ?

DD was eating 5oz at that time and we didnt wait too long before increasing that to six ounces. It TOTALLY leveled off though bc she still gets 6oz bottles at 13 weeks.

Oh and she eats 5 bottles a day (about every 4 hrs).
When she was your DC's age she ate more often and more bottles a day.
