Sounds good! The best advice I can give you is to just listen to your babys cues. She'll tell you when she's hungry and when she's had enough. Try not to worry too much, just relax and enjoy your baby. God Bless
Calculating the amount based upon how much the weigh is old school. They don't do that anymore. Just listen to your baby. If she's hungry, feed her. People make it so complicated when really its so easy.

Wow atleast you know how much your 2 month old is eating a day, i cant keep up with mine lol. Sounds normal, mine has a 2 oz bottle ( drives me nuts) every 1 to 3 hrs. As long as shes growing on her curve ( ask doctor bout growth chart next visit) everything should be fine.

she sounds pretty normal.
i have two boys, one of which is 3 months old. he usually has 5 or 6 ounces every 2 to 3 1/2 hours. my doctor said that he was eating too much, but i only feed him when he is genuinly hungry. but he is a big baby. my oldest son ate 6 ounces every 4 hours on the dot, except for night time.
as long as your baby gets enough to be satisfied, you have nothing to worry about.

26-30 oz. a day. the baby is eating fine. if you are still worried, call the pediatrician and ask them to do weight checks once a week to make sure the baby is not losing weight. they have no problem doing these 'nurse' visits.

This depends on how much she weighs, sounds like she getting a little to much, well pending on if she is breastfed or formula. If thats how much formula you are feeding her, then I would say 2-3oz every feeding, but breastfed then you can let her keep eating until she stops on her own. Her doctor can calculate how much she should have by her weight. If she seems to be really fussy it could be something else, she will keep eating to sooth herself.

That is fine for her to eat. My son started on cereal at age 3 months. His doctor said kids are all different and are all made different. If your daughter over eats, she will start to spit up alittle, and pushing the bottle out of her mouth. Shes fine.

I breast fed and my babies all ate every two hours in the beginning . Forumla takes longer to digest so may not need to eat as often.
