Probably 4-6. But the baby will let you know when he/she is full.

You should let your baby tell you when he is full... They really can! They turn their heads from the bottle, become not as interested in sucking, really, really fall asleep (not the little nod off they sometimes do just after the beginning of a feeding). If you have ANY concerns that your little one doesn't weigh enough or isn't eating properly, consult your pediatrician or healthcare provider. On that same note, 2oz at a time is a nice amount of formula to prepare, then you can always make more. If you are breastfeeding then you can guesstimate how many oz you have fed by wet diapers (8 or more in a day).

My daughter is almost 2 months old and she drinks 6 ounces most feedings. Sometimes 8. Trust your baby though.. he or she will know when it's time to quit feeding. I discovered she tended to drink more when the formula was in liquid form instead of powder, so try to take that into account too.

I was told with both of my kids that at 2 months they should be eating around 2.5-5oz at a time. But go with your instincts. Your baby will let you know when they have had enough. They will turn their head away,fall asleep, some even get a little cranky. It just varies from baby to baby how much they eat and how they let you know when they are full. If you are concerned you baby is not eating enough talk with the doctor but as long as they stay on a steady weight gain they are usually getting enough. Good Luck.

Usually 4-6 every 2-3 hrs, maybe more each child is different, he'll let you know, just like they let you know when they're full.
