  My LO is 8 weeks and drinks between 4 and 5 oz. I usually give him a bottle before bed and I give him 5 oz but he STTN so I give him more to hold him until the morning.

  LO is 6 weeks and usually eats between 3 and 4 ounces every two and a half hours. Lately he started gulping down the 4 so we thought we would start offering 5 and then today he is wanting 2 and then wanting to eat again in an hour.

  6.5 weeks; I pump and nurse. When I pump he eats 3 to 4 oz, but usually 4. He eats every 2 to 3 hours during the day but sleeps 5 to 6 hrs then 3 hrs at night.

  I just saw my pedi today for dds 1 month check.  She weighs just under 9lbs and is 4 weeks old. I ebf too, but she's not gaining as fast as she should. He told me that 4oz was a good amount to offer at bedtime, and tweak as needed (ie, add more if still rooting after burping, or less if she spits up).  3-5oz seems to be a normal range.

  I EBF but pump for bottles too. LO just turned 2 months and weighs 13lb 4oz (jeebers!)... he takes about 3-4 (usually 4) ounces from a bottle every 3 hours during the day.

  I pump and give EBM through a bottle only and supplement with formula as needed. My guy is 5 weeks old and he takes 3 oz BM every 2-3 hours during the day. When he gets formula he takes 4 oz.
