Anyway, I was letting my 5 week old eat 5 ounces occassionally and I got in trouble by the doctor. She said that I should only feed her 3-4 ounces every 3-4 hours and that after that she is just sucking on the bottle cause it is there. She said at this age they start to cry just to cry not real hunger. I don't know how much I believe that but I have tried to pay more attention, but I say if they are hungry they are hungry.
Re: At 5wks, DS is eating around 6-8 oz in one sitting....
I have no clue how I just did that sorry..

DS sometimes can eat 5-6 oz in one sitting. It may definately be a growth spurt. I personally feed on demand.
