I can not find in ounces how much babies eat at a certain age.

How much does you 2 mo old eat in a sitting??

[Lolly]

There is a rough guide that says they need 2-2.5oz per lb of body weight in 24 hours, but that is a very rough guide.

At 2 months my two were taking about 4oz every 3 hours during the day and we tried the DF (hit and miss) and 1 or sometimes 2 nightfeeds.

How much is your LO taking now? You need to be guided by them really. When you bottle feed you should have enough in the bottle so that there is a bit left at the end of a feed. You know then that they have stopped because they are full (as a breastfed baby would) and not just because the bottle is empty. If they are draining the majority of bottles during the day you need to add another oz.

HTH!

He is taking 5-6oz I feel like it is a lot, not complaining I just wanted to get a feel for how much is average. I feel like he could eat all day and the only reason he stops is because I stop feeding him.

My 6 week old DS is eating 5-6 ounces for 3 bottles, then 3-4 ounces others. DF and NW only 2-3 ounces. But he is a big boy... probably 11 pounds by now.

Yeah I would think Dylan is about the same, I believe he is about 10 1/2 lbs. thanks for your help:)

I try to have enough so that he leaves maybe half an ounce behind. But recently he has been less consistent on amounts. Maybe he had a growth spurt before when he was eating 6 ounces?
