How much formula at 10 days old?

I'm shocked to find DS wants 4oz every 3hrs for the last 2 days, and he's only 10 days old now (he never spits up extra and if we only give him 3, he'll fall asleep, but wake up and hour later for the rest, and then be up in another 2 hours wanting the while amount again). Everything I read says he should be taking 2-3 oz at this age. He was 6.10 at birth, 6.7 at discharge and 6.15 3 days later at the docs! I know every child is different, but did anyone else have a DC that went up in formula amounts so quickly?

totally normal. my ds was drinking 3 ounces in the hospital every 4 hours. as soon as we brought him home 3 days later he was up to 4 ounces every 3 hours.

After 10 days, DD was eating about 3 oz every 3-4 hours

That is what my DS has been drinking since we brought him home. The dr said it is ok.
