    When your babies are eating every 4 hours, how much are they eating at one time?

    Mine didn't change the amount they ate more than 1 oz, but I may not be the norm as I had small eaters. I think we went from 4oz bottles to 5oz ones.

    How were they sleeping through the night then? My girls are also small eaters. They normally eat 4 to 6 oz if we are lucky.

    Shoot I'm just jealous of the 4 hr thing, mine still eat every 2-3 hrs during the day and those are 6 oz bottles that they normally drain, or close to drain! :p

    My DS always DOWNS 8 oz. (he's a piggy) and my DD will usually do 8 oz, but sometimes only 6-7 for one feeding( she is on zantac too). Sometimes they will STTN and sometimes they will wake at 4-5, eat and go back to sleep.

    My LO's are 5 1/2 months old and eat usually 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 oz per feeding. During the day they normally eat every four hours for a daily total of 25-33 oz/day.

    Last night DS slept 12 hrs and didn't wake at all to eat. DD slept 12 hrs and got up once half way through. I cherish those times! They're doing better.
