How much is your LO taking in a feeding?? And how often do you feed? The reason I ask is because DS is taking around 5-6oz every 3 to 3 1/2 hrs and I get the feeling that my MIL thinks I overfeed him because of some comments she has made.

my dd has been getting 6ozs every 3 hors since she was almost 3 months. she needs some rice cereal now, but waiting ok from doc.  Some babies want more than others. As long as your LO is keeping it down ,it's fine

My daughter is 3 mos old today and she is eating the same. Don't we wish MIL could keep comments to themselves?

That sounds right to me.  Go with your gut - listen to your baby - not MIL.

My 2 month olds take between 4 and 6 ounces every 3 hours, so I really doubt you are overfeeding your LO.  I just watch for signs that the boys aren't hungry anymore, like if they start just playing with the nipple, pushing the nipple out, or turning their head away from the bottle.  Also, our little boys get rice cereal in their 2 night-time bottles.

4 oz every 2 hours.  Occasionally 6 and then he will go 3 hours.

6 ounces every 4 hours or so...I used to worry about overfeeding too but she isn't spitting up or throwing up so I think she is just a big eater at this point.

Ds is taking 6 oz every 3 hours. MIL insists I dont feed him enough, haha You can never win!
