    My boys eat 6 oz. about every 2-2 1/2 hours! It seems like a lot..I got their weights today, and Wyatt is up to 11 lbs 12oz, and Cade is 13 lbs 4 oz!! Just wondering how much everyone else's babies are eating, and how often...thanks!

    My DD eats 2-3 oz every 2 hours. DS is breastfed and eats every 2 hours also.

    DS eats 5 ounces, DD 3-4 ounces every 2-2.5 hours during the day, 5-6 hours at night. They weighed 13 and 11.5 pounds respectively last week.

    Katie was eating like that as well, and our pedi suggested adding cereal to her bottles. So we did. She now eats 6 ounces with cereal in it every 4 hours. She weighs a little over 12 piunds.

    Mine eat between 6 and 8 oz - 4 times a day ( a LOT - I know) -- but they are 14 and 13 lbs - but their height/weight ratio remains about equal - so my Dr. isn't worried about it.

    my boys are 2 mos old, and about those weights (maybe 1/2 pound lighter, each). they eat 4-6 oz every 3 hours, and wake up about once a night for a feeding. so somewhere around a total of 30 oz a day.

    All I can say is...check out my "YIKES" post. I don't get how some babies can eat exactly what my babies eat plus space it out even longer and mine is absolutely HUGE!!!

    Mine eat about 4-5 oz. (usually 5) every 3 hours during the day and sleep a 5-6 hours stretch during the night and another 4 hours in the early morning.

    My babies are not even three months old and DS eats about 6 oz every two hours and he is 12lbs 4oz. DD eats a little less like 4-5 oz every two hours or so and is 9lb 12oz. Glad to hear someone else has hungry babies because i was beggining to ? myself but i have to feed them when they are hungry I cannot hold out until a certain amount of hours.

    My boys are on a schedule, but a weird one.... they have 8oz in the morning, and then 3 hours later, 6oz. The rest of the day they eat every 4-5 hours, 6oz...then right before bed, they have a 8oz, then 2.5-3 hours later, a 6 oz and down for the night. So they wind up eating around 36oz a day. They weigh 13lbs 4oz and 13lbs 6oz. The doctor isn't concerned at all, and says they are at a great weight...
