I'm starting to introduce the bottle (and little Anna is freaking out!) and I wanted to know how many ounces I should give her per feeding - what's the norm? thanks!

    Start with 2oz & see if she's still hungry after.  Also, if she's freaking when you give her a bottle, have someone else give it to her; you may even need to leave the room.  Otherwise, she'll want you.

    I think 2-3 oz is what they eat per feeding.  Like pp said, you might have to have someone else give the bottle-I've also heard that you might want to have the person who is giving the bottle have a "dirty" shirt of yours that smells like you to comfort your lo.  No idea if it works, b/c my ds loves a bottle of bm!!

    Around 2 oz. and be ready to give a little more if your DD is obviously still hungry.
