  I ff, and he's eating 6 6oz bottles a day... well maybe a little less then that. Usually about a total of 30 -32 oz a day. His last bottle he usually only gets 3.5 oz down so. It really depends on the day though.

  I was curious if I was overfeeding (he eats every 3 hours then sleeps 8-9 hours straight at night) but he's still riding the 25percentile train... so I guess not. Good luck.

  DD is 14 weeks and eating 3.5-4 oz every 2-4 hours.  I've noticed her starting to eat closer to every 3-3:30 hours.

  if you need to produce more milk than pump more! Mine is only 8 weeks but the more you pump the more you produce, also try eating oatmeal and stay well hydrated that is key for milk supply.  i also sometimes supplement one or two bottles while I'm working on getting my supply to increase it takes a few days Also, I'm sure you know but BM digests alot faster so they are hungry more often, i just follow his lead.. easy he lets me know when he is hungry if he is he'll eat if not he won't.
