How much does your 2 week old eat?

I do a combo of nursing and bottle feeding because LO was early and has to be supplemented with Enfacare formula in her breast milk bottles (5 oz./day).  Right now when she takes her bottles she does 2 oz. at a time - this seems like alot because her belly gets really swollen.  When I nurse I don't feel like she is getting 2 oz. at the breast, sometimes she's only able to nurse 1 breast before she falls asleep! 

I'd like to know what your LO's are eating at each feeding!  Thanks!

    We FF and during the day he eats 3-4 oz every 2-3 hours. At night he eats 4oz every 4-5 hours.

    I EP but we also supplement with 2-3 formula bottles at night as I work on building my supply. He eats 3-4oz every 3-4 hours. Sometimes he will eat a little less and then want to eat again in 2hours.

    She was doing 2 1/2 oz of formula every 3-4 hours but the last two days it's been every 2 hours so it's now 3 oz and it seems to be back to every 3 hrs now

    Not exactly sure. LO eats every 2- 3 hours. Nurses both breasts for about 15-20 min. Each side. Urine and BM output is great as well as weight gain.

    Usually 4oz every 3hrs.  At night he'll go longer between feedings.  He's a big boy though...almost 11lbs.

    She drank 3.75oz-4oz 3-4 hours at two weeks. At three weeks she drinks about 4.25-4.5 oz every 3.5-4.5 hours.

    DD is eating 2.5-3oz each feeding.  She usually eats every 3-4 hours, we also formula feed.  Babies have to work harder to breastfeed....maybe that's why she's falling asleep?
