How much does your 2 month old eat?

Delana

For everyone who feeds their baby expressed breast milk, how many oz do you give your 2 month old? (About every 2 hours)

I'm asking because I've always heard that you're supposed to feed them when they're hungry and keep feeding until they're full. So I've been doing that since my son was born. He was born preemie and started out eating the normal amount but after 2 months he started wanting 6 oz every 2 hours. At his 2 months check up, the doctor said that was too much and he needed to be cut down to 4. So I listened, but he never seems satisfied!

My dad said that he also used to do the on demand feeding technique with my sisters and I and never had an issue. I guess I'm just wondering if my doctor may be wrong? I've known of plenty of chubbier babies that grow to be healthy and normal toddlers.
