How many oz is your LO eating? How many times a day does LO eat? I used the calc. on Kellymom...my LO seems to eat 28 oz a day (4 oz 7x a day). Sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less.

During the day he usually only goes 2 hours between feedings, but does go 4 and 5 hours at night. Everyone keeps telling me to give him more at one feeding so he'll go longer during the day, but this seems to work for us. Just curious what everyone else is doing.

    H eats about 8 4oz bottles a day.  He eats 16 - 18oz of that at DC during the day which I find astounding!  I only give him 4 oz bottles, I think DC gives him 6oz bottles at a time.  I find 4oz is plenty for him, even if he cries after I finish feeding him.  There are days I have to tap into my freezer supply and he eats more like 36oz.  Those days suck!

    DD is 7 weeks old and is taking 3 - 4 oz every 2.5 to 3 hours.  she tends to have a lot of spit up if she takes in 4 so i try to keep her around 3 to 3.5.

    My LO is eating pretty much the same as yours.  He does take 5oz before bed and 5oz when he wakes.

    LO eats 5 times a day.  At least 4 1/2 oz each time, but usually 5oz right before bed and 5oz in the morning since she started STTN.
