Ellie is 24 days old and barely drinks a 90ml bottle at each feed. Sometimes it's 30ml and very rarely (usually her bottle as we're all going to bed) she'll take 120ml. I'd say on average she has 60ml every 4 hours.

She's gaining weight well (nearly a lb heavier than her birth weight) and has lots of wet and poopy nappies - so is thriving, so should I just accept that she's not a big eater??
 
Patrick is only taking between 90ml - 150ml at each feed and he is 4 months. He gains weight really well so again i think he just isn't a big feeder. if she is happy and contented I'd say her milk intake is fine. xx
 
Omar was taking 60-90 ml every 4-5 hrs at 4 wks. Until now he's not a big drinker. the maximum he went for was 28 oz in 24 hrs at 4-5 mnths. Now he only takes 5-6 oz per bottle & have a max of 4 bottles (he usually takes 3). He's a big baby & on the 82nd percentile. as long as ur baby is gaining weight steadily, u dont need to worry about ozs.
