    Actually is depends on the infant. Some only drink 2 to 4 ounces at one feeding. It depends on the size of the baby. If the baby is drinking to much. You may want to try putting some cereal in his bottle.

    i’m breastfeeding, but my 6 week old boy still eats about every two hours!!!! HELP!! lol
    just feed when hungry, that’s the norm, so just watch for baby’s cues!

    you go with what your baby wants, i always put in extra, as i have had 3 kids and when she drinks whatever you have given her, offer a bit more next time, your baby is different to everyone Else, and you will know if she needs more or if she is content with what is given. If she is till hungry after a feed offer her more, you cant go wrong, but awesome for you for asking for advice, good luck

  • Audie:

    All babies have a different appetite. At five weeks, about four ounces every three to four hours…depending on the schedule you’re on. If he/she takes more than that or less than that don’t worry. Just keep track of how much per feeding, and if you think it’s too little talk to your doctor.
