Moms of newborns -- how many weeks is your LO and how much is he/she eating?
DS is 3 weeks tomorrow and is eating 3.5 oz of formula every 3-4 hours. The dr keeps saying that all babies are different and to feed him on demand but i want to make sure im not over feeding him.

2 weeks today and getting 4ozs every three hours or so.
ETA: I agree - feed on demand, I wasn't giving Tyler as much as he wanted and now it's such a difference since I up'd his ounces. I put more in the bottle and he takes what he wants!

my DD is 6 weeks old
she takes anywhere between 2.5-4oz every 2.5-4 hours (usually about 24oz/day)
Shell always take 4oz during her mid night feeding. She usually falls asleep between 1130-1230 and wakes around 430 for a bottle, then again around 730/830

my ds is 7 weeks and he eats approx 4-4.5 ozs every 3 hours, he goes 4-5 hours at night
for example, I just put him down to bed and he will sleep until 12ish and then wake at 5 or so for another feeding
