I know it depends on how often they're fed, as well.

    I know it varies and the nurses at the hospital should educate you about this before you go home, but 1-2 oz is pretty standard for a newborn that eats every 2-4 hours. Of course your pediatrician could give you that info also.

    ***Jokingly asks***

    Are those ounces measured by the amount of water only or the combination of water plus formula?

    Just for kicks...
