11 days old - how many oz per feeding??

Question

How many oz breast milk or formula should I be giving my 11 day old baby? It seems he is always hungry. I'm exclusively pumping right now but dr says to supplement w formula if necessary. Before today he was eating 2oz per feeding. I just fed him 3.5 oz and he's still hungry.

Answer

Baby might be going through a growth spurt. Supplementing is fine, try power pumping to mimic cluster feeding to help supply. When baby is feeding more he's usually trying to tell your breast how much milk to make. My babe is 18 days & currently eating about 2 oz
