How often does your/did your 2 week old eat?

My little guy was eating 2 - 2 1/2 ounces every 3 hours consitently but not he seems hungry after a little more than 2 hours. Confused if I should be feeding him more often or more ounces.

I don't FF, but DS feeds about the same frequency.  He went through a growth spurt a few days ago actually where he was feeding almost every hour.  Baby's stomach is still fairly small, so I'd be apt to suggest feeding more often rather than trying to feed him a larger quantity.  Your pediatrician would probably be able to give you better advice though as I don't know how well your LO has been growing.

When DD starts getting consistently hungry after a shorter period of time than normal, we usually up her ounces.  We switched to formula when she was 2 weeks old.  She started at 2.5 oz, and by a week later was up to 3 oz.  As of a few days ago (so at 5.5 weeks old) she is up to 4 oz every 3-4 hours, with some longer stretches at night.
