Does this sound like a normal feeding schedule??

My 3 week old eats every 2 or 2.5 hours, 4 oz each time...does that not seem like ALOT? He's on formula, so that would make me think that he could go a bit longer than 2 hours on 4 oz...he also only sleeps for 2 hour stretches, but I'm not worried about that so much as the seemingly constant eating.

What do you ladies think?

    Totally normal.  If you think he may not be hungry try to give him his pacifier.  If he still cries and shows hunger cues feed the boy.  

    I also have a big eater.  I BF, but rented a scale to do weighed feeds because he'd only eat for 8 minutes. He is eating between 6.2-6.8 ounces in one feed.  He eats 5 times a day because he is STTN.

    That sounds like DS at that age.

    My LO also eats 4 oz every 2 to 2.5 hrs as well and eats every last drop! I also thought that she was eating alot for her age but the pedi said it was fine.
