  Mine is almost 8 weeks and he's a preemie so that might not help but he eats 2.5oz every 2 hours. Your DD is GORGEOUS by the way!

  Mine was eating about 5 oz, but he was 9lbs 10oz at birth and was eating 3 oz when we left the hospital.

  When I pump and feed him (usually just BF him), he will take 3-4 ounces - when he takes 4, he tends to spit up more, so he probably only really needs 3 or 3.5. ?He weighs 9lbs 12ounces at 7 weeks! ?GL

  He eats between 4-6 oz every 3-4 hours (usually 5 oz every 3 hrs).  He was 8 lbs, 10 oz when he was born.. I feel like he eats a lot but he never spits any up so it seems to be the right amount for him.  I stop feeding him when he "sighs" and his hands relax.  That seems to be his cue that he's full.
