Baby is drinking 4-7.5oz?!??

Question

My baby is almost two months old in one week, and her first feeding of the day she wants around (usually) 6 or 7oz of milk! I pump and breastfeed but her first feeding of the day around 7am is bottle. 
She usually is at 3.5 but we increase if she continues to cry after a feeding. Is this normal?? I feel like when I breastfeed her for almost an hour she's done but she'll get fussy and want more. So I feel it's easier to just bottle feed so I know exactly how much she's getting, but I really want to continue to breast feed as well as pump in between. 
Are anyone else's babies eating more at this time? I understand growth spurts and all but I'm curious.

Answer

I think that's pretty typical. My son started wanting at least 5 ounces (now closer to 6) around two weeks ago. He's 6 weeks old now.

Answer

If you want to continue to BF then put her on you in the am instead of bottle. You may have to add the bottle at the end if she's still not satisfied, but you will start producing more eventually. Giving her the bottle in the am instead if you is telling your body u don't need to make more milk cuz baby doesn't need it

Answer

My baby is two months old tomorrow and he drinks a 4oz bottle in the morning and then an hour and a half to two hours later he'll eat a 2oz bottle. I just switch between 2-4oz all day depending on how hungry he seems. Sometimes he wants to keep eating after 4oz but his pediatrician says he's eating too much 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

We’re at 3.5 oz to 4 oz over here. He’ll be two months on the 8th. I feel it just all depends on your baby. All babies are different and some appetites are bigger. Sometimes baby just likes to suckle and may seem to appear hungry.
