my baby is 3weeks old today and drinking 4.5-5.5oz every feed. is this normal??? she was just drinking 3-3.5oz literally like 3 days ago. what do i do about it?

Question

Answer

If she’s hungry let her eat. When they are that small it’s not super concerning if they eat more

Answer

Remember that there is a growth spurt around 2-3 weeks and again at 4-6weeks.

Pace feeding is smart so you don't overfeed baby.

Answer

Let her eat when she’s hungry, and let her tell you when she’s done. It’s more concerning when they aren’t eating much, and when weight is an issue.

Answer

Bottle fed babies eat a lot more as they don’t have to work to get the milk and the “traditional” style of feeding them does not help this. Use small nipple size and use once feeding method. If that does not influence how much she eats I wouldn’t worry too much.
