Feeding ?
I was wondering if you remember how much your little one was eating at 3 weeks old(formula)? Isabella eats 4oz. every 4 hours, but an hour later she sometimes seems hungry again, she starts rooting, getting fussy, and sticking her fists in her mouth. 4 oz. seems like a lot to me. Sometimes I give her another ounce an hour or two after her regular feeding.

Re: Feeding ?
I was BF at that time, but my pediatrician said to give her whatever she wanted, that you can't overfeed a baby and that they'll "shut off" when they're done. That includes bottle feeding as well. I wouldn't be concerned; she'll let you know when she's had enough.

We were told the same thing.
At 7 months I still pretty much feed on demand and we're to all bottles now. Even with her solids sometimes she eats 2 bites, sometimes a whole jar. She can tell if she's hungry or full.

Re: Feeding ?
Julia was drinking 4 oz also- sometimes she wanted more or would wake up for more - but you will begin to tell that they sometimes go through a growth spurt so not all days are the same- Julia is now up to 6 oz at 8 weeks - they will let you know when to increase.

Shane was drinking around the same at that age...when I asked the doctor, he said "God Bless him" and not to worry- he will stop when he's not hungry. I would just go with it.
