I've just given my baby 4oz (well 20 mins ago). He's sat now having more!! So far 1oz!! He can't need 5oz bottles already :(

probably a growth spurt! just go with the flow of things!
 
Agree with the above :) Most likely a growth spurt
 
I still struggle to get Marcus to take 3 :cry: overnight he often will only take 2 as he just wants to go back to bed! I think its fab hes feeding so well for you xxx
 
Hey Beth, my little man is taking 4oz at a time nearly, and hes only 9days old! I switched to formula last Tuesday, definitely made the right decision. x
 
dont stress- if you were breastfeeding he could take 10oz and you wouldn't know- feed him to his hunger- if he eats to much he will spill (chuck) up any excess.
 
My 3 week old is taking 4 oz and has started to act like she is still hungry after eating so I'm thinking we will be on 5 oz soon!
 
Toby is now on 5oz & I know it won't be long before he is on 6oz! Piggy! xx
 
Eddy was on 5oz at 2 weeks too, and was on 8oz by 5 weeks! Thankfully he seems to be happy with 8oz for now :wacko:
 
my ds was talking 4-5oz at three weeks.
hes now 9weeks today and takes 6oz most feeds first feed of the morning sometimes 7oz x

Hes 3 weeks 4 days old now and is drinking 5oz bottles. Sometimes wants another 2oz half an hour later but not often. 5s doing th job for now
xx
 
Toby was having 6/7oz bottles at 3 weeks he was just a little porker haha x
 
wow you are lucky I wish my baby girl would take more but she is on less than the recommended amount for a two month old (150ml per feed every four hours)
My friends little boy ate like an athlete, lol he was on 100ml at three days old and 200ml at one month, he could not get enough and he is a healthy strong and solid one year old.
Go with the flow. our little girl only takes 100ml every three hours so we have to go with it, she is a little and often type, whereas some babies need more and have big amounts less often or big amounts all the time, i would go along with it until they settle into a routine, it can take a few weeks :)
 
Edie was taking 5oz at 3 weeks too! She wanted 60ml at a day old! She's now taking 6oz every now and then but normally only 5oz still! Apart from nights when she seems to take 2.5oz every couple of hours?
 
A hungry little monkey - that's good :)
Just go with the flow - he will be growing nicely - well done you!
 
Evie is 3 1/2 weeks and she takes 5oz bottles of boob milk (im pumping when i can) and 4oz bottles of formula, occasionally more (aptamil) xx
 
we have upped our LO's to 5oz already for the last two days! she's such a piggy :')
 
I would just feed him if hes hungry :) Amelia was on 5 oz bottles by the time she was 4 weeks old and has been taking 6oz for 2 weeks! We just hav hungry babies :cloud9:
 
I think it ok jonathan was on 4 sometimes 5 oz by 2 weeks and 8 oz not too long after. He is doing great on still just 8 oz as of now. My dd never too more then 6? You know what they say everyone is different
