At that age, DD was probably drinking between 3.5-4oz every 3-4 hours.

DS is always hungry and will drain every bottle we give him. I actually have to distract him after each bottle to get him to fall asleep so he doesn't cry for more to eat!

He's eating b/w 4-5 oz every 3ish hours, though he's finished a 6 oz bottle, no problem. The ped said he can't have more than 32 oz in 24 hours, and we've been coming pretty close to that. Supposedly at about 2 months his brain will mature enough so that he will know when he's had enough.

At that time DD was taking about 3ozs everyt 3 hours (sometimes more often). I let her take what she needed.

3-4 oz every 3 or so hours. Sometimes it would be 2a hours though! I've never heard of a maximum amount of formula when they're little.

I think 2.75-3.25. I think it depends on weight too. At 6-8 weeks, my girls were eating what a lot of friends babies were eating at birth because they were the same weight.

Same here...but I would say every 2-3 hours. Most of the time she finishes the bottle...but if she is having a sleepy day then sometimes she doesn't finish.
