How many oz of BM does your 5 week old eat?

DS had his first bottle of expressed BM today and I was basically playing it by ear as to how much he would drink. He had about 4.5 oz and still seemed hungry, and ate after I pumped when we got home (I pumped about 6 oz). So I wonder should I have fed him 6oz +?

How much does your LO eat?

    Mine was probably eating 3-3.5 oz at that age.  He is just now taking 4.5 oz.

    Mine just had 6 ounces Tuesday evening.  But we hardly ever do bottles so I don't know how consistent this is.  I was surprised though bc I kept taking it away thinking she would be full earlier

    it depends on your baby's weight. ours was 12 lbs at 5 weeks and drinking 5 oz every 3 hrs. he's taking 6 oz now.
