Does my boy eat enough?

I am trying to get a handle on the bottle and BFing thing.

He wakes up several times a night to eat, but lately in the morning before work he doesn't want to nurse. 

He eats 2 4- 5 oz bottles during the day and I BF at lunch.  He will then eat 1.5 times between getting home and bed. 

But overall he seems less interested in nursing, esp before bed.  When I pump I can yield about 5-7 oz so that kinda gives me an idea of what he will eat BF when (if) he'll do a full feeding.

Does this sound right?

Every child is different based on their weight and various other factors, but what you are describing sounds about like what my son eats as well.

If he isn't acting hungry and fussy then I think you can safely assume he is satisfied and getting enough milk.

I co sleep with DS and he eats all night long, whenever he wants, then through the day he will go hours, up to 6 w/o eating.  They will eat when they get hungry!
