At 2 weeks old, how much formula was/is DC taking?

Faith is taking between 1.5 to 3 ounces every 2-3 hours. She is still a couple of ounces from her birth weight and I have to take her back to the ped on Saturday. When DC was 2 weeks, how many ounces was he/she taking? I am starting to worry that she isnt taking enough formula Chat Icon

Up until 2 days ago Tyler was taking 2.5 ounces every three hours. I could tell that he still wanted more but was doubting myself and was unsure if he was hungry or gassy.

Yesterday I just upped every bottle to 4 ounces and he's been taking that every 3-4 hours now.

I think I was starving the poor kid before Chat Icon

I am doing a combo of nursing and formula, but my ped told me Liam should be getting 4 ozs every three hours. He is also 9lbs, 8 ozs though and still always acts hungy! Chat Icon

At 2 weeks, she would take anywhere from 0.5-2 oz. at a feeding. We fed her fairly frequently, though. Maybe every 1-2 hours, I think. It doesn't sound like a lot, but she gained almost a pound in her first 2 weeks home from the hospital, even drinking between 13 & 18 oz. a day.

DS was having about 2-3oz every 3 hours.
At 3 1/2 weeks he's having 3-4oz every 3-4 hours.
