How many ounces is your 11 week old drinking?

Dd is drinking 6 oz and she still cries for more. One day i had accidentally made a 7 oz bottle and she drank it all and didnt cry like she normally does.  This sounds like a lot for an 11 week old to be drinking.  i still give her 6 oz and even that I find can be a little too much sometimes .   

So i'm curious to know how much is your lo eating.?

I don't think 7 oz for an 11 week old is too much. DS is 10 weeks and does 5 oz, but every baby is different. My cousin's baby was doing 6-8 oz ever TWO hours when he was 5 months old.

You may get a lot of varying responses to your question, as this will depend on the size of the infant.  Our LO was a big baby at birth (almost 9 pounds) and 22.5 inches long, so he currently takes a 5.5 to 6.0 oz bottle.  

The pedi isn't concerned because we expect him to be a pretty big boy...DH is 6'9" and I'm 6'0.

How many oz is she drinking total per day?

My boys are 11 weeks, but they've always been on the low oz side.  But they take about 30 oz per day which is in line with the weight x 2.5 rule.

Btw, my boys take 5oz bottles, but they've always had spit up issues and don't do well with large bottles.

Agree with a pp - it might depend more on LO's weight than being 11 weeks old. At 11 weeks DS was eating mostly 6 oz bottles, sometimes 7 oz here or there, and feeding 6 times a day. He is also a big baby: was 14 lbs, 10 oz and 24 inches long at his 2 month checkup (so probably a little over 15 lbs at 11 weeks).

My LO isnt even 2 months yet and drinks between 4-6 oz. I think it just depends on the baby.

Um, my 3 week old demands 4-5 oz. I've tried giving him 3 and he bugs out until I give more.

Ive tried 3 but he spits up after.

He was born at 35 weeks and weight 5lbs and was 19 inch

my DD who was 9.7 lbs at birth and 12.7 lbs at her 2 month takes 4 oz bottles. i have tired 5 or 6 oz and she projectiles if I give her more then 4 oz.

My 11 week old twins drink 5-6 ozs most feedings but sometimes only 4 and sometimes 7. If they are full I dont push it and when they want more I give it. Just watch for a too full belly that spits up.
