    At 10 weeks my LO was averaging 30-32oz/day.

    DS eats about as much as @mfsunshine222's LO and has since around 10 weeks. He usually gets four 5-ounce bottles during the day and 6-ounce bottles for his MOTN bottle and the first morning feeding. He's fairly average sized, I think his pediatrician told me he was right around 40th percentile for both height and weight at his last checkup.

    My LO has 4-6 oz every 3-4 hours during the day. STTN. Edit: LO is 11 weeks tomorrow.

    My 10 week old is eating anywhere from 2-4oz every 3 hours, 1 MOTN feed (6 total bottles per day). She generally eats between 20-24oz durning the day. We're a little concerned that she's not eating enough because basically since she turned 2 months old last week she has started eating only half of her 4oz bottle if she doesn't nap well. It was like a switch flipped. She was consistently finishing her 4-4.5oz bottles before that. She is making at least 5 wet diapers though so I guess she's getting enough. Anyone else have an issue like this?

    @lmimms87‌ my LO just had this happen. She was taking 4 oz consistently at every feeding and suddenly dropped to barely 2 oz. Turns out she has severe acid reflux. She is just now starting to eat more again. Maybe try watching to see if there are other signs of something else going on? I felt so bad for letting it go on so long for my LO...

    We thought she had some reflux going on about a month ago, but those signs have gotten better. Went to the pedi about it and they didn't think it was reflux. Yesterday we changed her from dr Browns level 1 nipples to level 2 and she's sucking it down like no ones business. Maybe she was getting bored and tired of sucking hard to get her formula out?

    Eta: I do think she has slight silent reflux, but it's not bad enough for medication and the thicker formulas made her constipated.
