April babies- how much now?

Question

Hey mamas, 
How much is your 2 month old baby eating? 
Our lil guy is almost 9 weeks. 
He's still only drinking 4oz or less a feeding with the occasional 5oz bottle after a long stretch at night. He eats every 2.5-3hours in the day time and has one longer stretch at night 
"Trying" to feed him more gags him.  He definitely is good at letting one know "when he's done."
He's gaining weight great.  Has AT LEAST 8+ wet dipeys a day. But
Glow says 6-8 oz a feed? And max out at 40oz a day?!?!  We're lucky to get 21-24oz In him within a 24hr period.  And never more than 30oz.

Answer

My baby is 9 weeks old tomorrow. She weighs 11lbs 7oz. She has the exact same feeding schedule. 4oz every 2.5 hrs during the day. Occasionally she will go 3 hours during the day and usually does a 5hr stretch at night. Usually eats 5oz after the stretch at night.

Answer

My 8 week old takes 4 to 5oz every 3.5-4hrs. Sometimes he drains the 5oz so we give him another Oz but usually he spits it up so we stopped doing that. I think as long as baby is growing and doc isn't concerned then it's fine.

Answer

We have pretty much the same schedule. My 10 week old eats 4 oz bottles of expressed milk every 2-3 hrs during the day and I breastfeed at night where he goes for a little bit longer. He's 15 lbs, so no issues with weight.

Answer

Every baby is different I think if he is on track with weight gain/wet and dirty diapers and isn't crying in hunger you are fine!! Of course speak to your doc if you are worried but I find the guidelines more trouble than helpful. Is he formula fed? My boy takes 5oz at a time of expressed BM when I bottle feed him. He is 8 weeks.
