I’ve been breastfeeding my baby and bottle feeding (pumped milk) as needed since he was born, and we have been almost exclusively breastfeeding for the last few days. About a week ago he was taking 3-4 ounces in a bottle with a break midway through. That only lasted a couple days before he went back to 1.5-2 ounce feeds.

He only breastfeeds for 5-10 minute sessions and tends to feed more frequently, about every 1.5-2 hours. He’s 6 weeks old and gaining weight well, has s good latch, and falls asleep while feeding often. I also have a heavy letdown and make quite a bit of milk. I’m just concerned that 2 ounces is such a small amount for a 6 week old.

Is this sort of feeding pattern normal? Am I doing something wrong for him to not be eating 3-4 ounces every feed or feeding more than 10 minutes at a time?
