How much did your little boy eat at 4wks??

I hear little boys tend to eat more but anyone is welcome to answer. I was just curious how much your little guy ate at 4wks and when you moved up to another 1/2oz or oz? He used to go at least 4hrs between feedings but now it's every 31/2hrs or sooner. I'm just worried I'll over feed him since he tends to spit up a lot. Plus, I'm watching out for reflux since I already have it.

    My son ate about 3-4oz and 3 1/2 hours is a good time between feedings :)

    My little guy is sucking back 5oz like there's no tomorrow.  I'm thinking about bumping him up another half ounce, but I'm going to ask my ped. tomorrow first (because I feel like that's a lot for a 4 week old).

    I think I might add just a half an oz and see what happens. Sometimes he's satisfied and sometimes not.

    We do about 3 hours between feedings during the day.  At 4 weeks, he took between 3 and 3.5 ounces at a feeding.  We moved up at about 4.5 weeks just because he was consistently eating it all at each feeding.  Its kind of a trial and error thing.  I've learned, for my LO, that burping 1/2 through minimized spit up.

    My son will be 4 weeks in two days & he eats a bare MINIMUM of 4 oz. per feeding, about every 2.5 - 3 hours.  Sometimes we give him 5 oz., but no more than that.

    My girl is turning 4 weeks on Wed and a few days ago she started having just about 4 oz, sometimes 3 1/2 every 3 hours. She went thru a growth spurt I think the last 2 days bc she was eating every 2 hours, 4 oz and then yesterday we had to wake her to eat every 3 hours. she never really fully finishes the 4 oz, we keep the bit thats left in case she wants more a bit later... and she usually does a 4 hour stretch of sleep from 10-2am, then wakes every 3 hours to eat after.

    Thank you, he's consistently eating 4oz at every feeding but we noticed his feedings getting closer together. He used to go a good 4hrs without fussing but now it's every 3 1/2 and he takes his paci like it's a bottle.
