I was just wondering how much formula he can drink a day... My little man seems like a little pig... But then again I'm not really sure if he's getting too much or not enough. He feeds about every 2-2.5 hours and takes about 30-35 ml each time.

Is that ok?

I don't know anything about it but that doesn't seem like much atall to me

yeah.. that doesn't seem like much. Most people say you should feed every 3-4 hours too.. so if they are eating soon you could try giving him more because he is probably still hungry. Colton never really cried when he was hungry so we just fed him until he wouldn't open his mouth for the bottle anymore, and trust me.. Those lips were SEALED! lol
Colton was eating a whole 2oz bottle for his first week, then he went to three oz. He is going back and forth between 3 and 4 now.

On my bottles 2-3oz is lined up with 60-100ml?

Thanks girls, I'm gonna try with more! I feel so useless, I feel like I don't know anything about babies! Gonna get better I guess x

Roughly 2 1/2 oz of milk per pound of body weight.. i've always found that a good guide to go on, but don't worry too much about keeping that exact amount if your little one wants more or less.

Don't feel useless hun, I'm sure your doing a great job Hope you and your little man are doing well

dnt worry i kno how u feel! my little one is feeding every 3-4 hours and taking about 3oz, but it varys sometimes she will only go 2 hours and then only take 1oz, i think its just trying to get them into a little routine at the mo.
