Milk

How much expressed milk is your little one eating at a time. When I pump and give a bottle I swear my LO is taking 5oz at a month old. Is this normal?

How old is your LO?

my son is 5 weeks on saturday and he drinks 5 ounces at a time.

5 oz is a lot. Have you been "pace feeding?" There are videos on you tube of paced feeding and that can help if your baby is really over eating. They may also just be on the high end of normal.

Depends on how hungry she is. She usually takes 3oz, but some feeds she wants extra. I make up smaller bags of milk (1-2oz) to supplement if needed.

Elise is 6 weeks and takes between 3-4.5 oz. I only offer bottles at night, so her first bottle is usually the largest (4.5 oz) and then the next MOTN feedings are closer to 3 oz. I think she gets sleepy and the first bottle still keeps her full for part of the night.

The boys are 6 weeks and don't take more than 4.5 oz at a time. We do 4oz so they don't spit up. Some times an hour later (or less) they will take another bottle and drink up to another two oz!

I would think maybe your baby's weight matters more than age? My LO only takes 2.5oz tops at 5.5 weeks, but she's only about 8 1/2 lbs. How big is your LO?

3-4oz here.

He was 9.6 last Tuesday.

For breast milk volume shouldn't change much over time. It increases rapidly for the first month or so, then levels off until six months, then slowly decreases as they start solids. It's not like formula where they need more and more over time.
