    Does it not say on the tin/packet? With my first when she was newborn it was 50ml which i think is just under 2oz

    @jellybeaning11 No it doesn't say I've been giving him two and a half every two hours he's two weeks and three days now so im not sure if I should increase it or stay at that amount

    Hmm not too sure? Does he show any signs of hunger after his bottle? Maybe increase milk a little bit and go a bit longer without feeding him

    Is he downing bottles and still hungry if so add another ounce and try spacing out to every 3 hours baby will only take what he wants and leave the rest I usually up the bottles by an ounce and if after a day he's not taking that ounce I go back down and try again in a few days if baby is emptying bottles :)

    I would give my baby 4 and let her drink what she wanted. My Dr said never do three oz or 5 oz bottles cause the formula has to be made like the directions so the baby gets proper nutrition.
