do you have 6 week olds?

if you bottle feed, how many ounces do you give and how often?

they nurse most often but if at grandmas or i'm at work, they eat between 80-130 ML every 2-3 hours

We just hit a growth spurt, I think (they've been hungry all the time the last few days). We increased slowly from 3 oz pre-spurt. Now our boy (bigger, probably close to 10 lbs now) is getting 4 oz and our girl (8 lb 12 oz) is getting 3.75 oz. They get hungry about every 3-4 hours with these amounts (longer when they are sleeping soundly).

How about you? I have no idea how much we "should" be giving them, so I'm interested to hear what others are doing.

Mine would eat anywhere between 4-7 ounces every 3 hours. 4-6 on the average day ... and those growth spurt days they take about 7 each feed. I am not sure if you want to compare yours to mine though as a lot of people have said that my kids eat tons more then the average. Our pedi says it's fine though.
