  My 7 week old is eating about 6.5-7 oz per bottle, 6 times a day, but I think he eats more than "usual". 

  Here are two websites I found with guidelines:

  We make Mason 4 oz bottles, after that if he still acts hungry we give him more. More often then not the 4 ozs is enough for him though.

  I'm relieved. This sounds like Sam. He's taking an average of 4 1/2 oz with occasional 6 oz feedings. The links were great! Thanks!!!!

  I am breastfeeding and supplementing with formula. After I nurse him, I usually give him 3-4 oz, sometimes more. He eats a lot!

  LO eats 6 oz every 3-4 hours. Her weight is considered "off the charts" for her age (13 lbs) and Doc doesn't like it. She had the nerve to ask me what might LO do if I tried feeding her less. So I asked what she might do if someone just decided she couldn't eat what she needed to get full. Yeah...thats what I thought.
