How much milk
« on: December 02, 2005, 19:28:10 pm »
Does any one know how much milk a typical 2.5 month old should take per feeding?  I know it varies, but I am wondering how much milk I should be leaving for a bottle.  She drains 4 oz at the dream feed and she drained 3.5oz during one feeding today and was searching for more.
Just wondering if anyone had an idea
Thanks,
Rachel
