Hello Ladies.  first time I post on this board.  My LO drinks 4oz of formula every 2 1/2 to 3 hours and sometimes it looks like she wants more..I'm not sure if this is ok for her or if I'm overfeeding her..

    My guy is 8 weeks and he has had almost that exact feeding schedule since her was 4 weeks old. Does your little one sleep a long time overnight? I chalked up my boy's appetitte to the fact that he sleeps for about 7 hours overnight. During the day he feeds every 2 hours and meet his daily intake of formula goal that way. (28-32 oz per day).

    At night she only sleeps 3 1/2 to 4 hours.  I've been hoping for longer hour stretches, but it hasn't happen yet...

    Since about 4 weeks my little guy has been nursing on both sides AND drinking an additional 4 oz of cereal formula (reflux). He is still 24% on weight. The way I see it is if she is still crying for more and she isn't spitting up excessively or throwing up then it is fine. Try 4.5 or 5 oz for a feeding and see if she takes it.
