Any FF 6+ weekers still eating every 2.5-3 hours?

I was hoping since D was such a crappy sleeper that I'd get an awesome one this time around, but no such luck.

Wes is formula fed and still eats every 2.5-3 hours.  He will only take 3, 4 ounces tops (and most of the time when he takes that extra ounce, he projectile spits - good times).

Anyone else have a LO that is still eating this small amount / this often at this age?  I'm dying here...

    Yep- my LO eats 3-4 oz. every 2.5-3 hours. He doesn't do well with more, so I'd rather feed him more often. I don't think this amount or consistency is too off, I have a girlfriend who's LO eats 4 oz and she's 8 months old!

    The only time he's goes longer is occasionally if he's asleep during the day (I usually wake after 4 hours) or at night he will often go 6+ hours (and then I let him).

    Unfortunately my guy takes 4-5 oz every 2.5-3 hours and usually he spits up the extra oz too. He STTN though, so that's good.

    Yep, same here. My daughter eats 3-4 oz every 3 hours during the day and every 3-4 hours at night.

    We aren't quite 6 weeks but DD is doing that as well. Sometimes she is starving earlier and wants more! I feel like she is always hungry.

    DS just started taking 5 oz at most feeds and he still eats every 2.5-3 hours during the day.
