How much does your baby eat?

I breastfeed and formula feed. My baby usually gets bf in the morning before I leave for work (or I pump if I am running short on time and he is asleep), during my lunch break, and sometimes at night. I also pump, but my supply has never been enough to satisfy him. I can't pump at work...
He usually gets 6-7 4oz bottles of formula (sometimes with breastmilk added) + those few bf sessions a day. We have been giving him 1 scoop of rice cereal in his bottles per pediatricians instructions because she thinks he has a bit of acid reflux. He will be 11 weeks old tomorrow and weighs 14 pounds (I know!).

    My little girl is 11 weeks old, formula fed only and eats 4 oz every 2-3 hours. And she weighs 11 lbs. At birth, she was 6 lbs 3 oz so she's gained plenty. I wanna try rice cereal, doctor thinks she has acid reflux as well, but for some reason, I'm nervous to try it!

    Wow! This is making me believe that baby girl is eating too much. This doesnt happen everyday but she eats 3-4 oz every 3-4 hours. Then she will have her lazy days when all she does is sleep. So her eating that much is understandable. But my fam always asks me if its normal, shes not even a week old yet. She has her appt next week so I will ask the dr. :/
