DS is almost 6 weeks. He typically drinks 4 oz. every 3 hours or so. It can actually fluctuate though from 3-6 oz. depending on his mood. He always seems to be hungry! I wish I could give him something with more substance.

DS eats 23-24 ounces in 24 hours. I thought I was feeding him too much too, but the doc said that was fine at his one month appointment on Wed.

DS is a big boy! By 10 weeks DS was taking 42oz!! he then cut back to about 36 the next week but he has always been above average with the amount he is drinking.

I have to look back but at 1 month I would think he was taking about 30oz. He was drinking at least 4oz at a time, every 3 hours during the day at then at least 1 bottle at night.

DS drank 26 - 30 oz at 1 month.

I don't know if it makes a difference if it's breast milk or formula, but DS is taking about 30 - 32 oz of breast milk a day pumped into bottles. He's averaging close to 4 oz per feeding, 8 times a day.
