My baby drinks 2.5 - 3.5 oz every 3 hours, is this normal?

    I don't know as this is my first but my 5 week old is drinking 4 oz every 3-4 hours.

    Is that through the night too? As a rough guide I think my formula carton suggests five 7oz feeds in 24 hours. My son is 7 weeks tomorrow and I breastfeed but supplement 2 feeds per day with bottle fed formula. He has 5/6oz of formula at each feed

    My 5 week old is breastfed and I pump, she drinks about 3-3.5 oz every 2 hours during the day and about 4 oz every 3 hours at night. As long as the baby is gaining weight its all good. Sounds normal to me.

    There should be a guide on similac's or emfamil's Web site, with the number of feedings and the total of ounces in 24 hours. On average my son, 2.5 mo, eats 28 to 32 ounces per day in 6 to 7 feedings.
