I give him 3-4 ounces. Is that too much?

Three to four ounces at least every 3 to 4 hours is good acording to most people, but follow your baby's cues. He knows when he is hungry and he will let you know. Your a mom don't worry it should all come naturally. Good luck and congratualtions!

My pediatirian says "age in months plus 2" is a good rule of thumb. She also said that you could give up to 1 additional ounce. So a 1 month old should have 3-4 ounces per serving.

Every baby is different. You need to look for the signs he gives you. Is he drinking the bottle at a steady pace? Does he seem satisfied after he's done? Does he spit up a lot? Does he act like he has an upset stomach? Does he seem to want more? Good luck on learning about your new baby.

2 - 4 oz. every 3 to 4 hours depends on the baby. and if they are sleeping, let them sleep. 38, mom of 2 and one more on the way.

sounds perfectly fine to me. assuming thats just one feeding. your baby should eat about 17 ounces or more a day. :)

If he drinks it all then thats fine. He wont over feed, and if he does he will throw up and u will know about it!!! Just feed him till he stops drinking!

NO, give him as much as he will eat. Why would you limit his eating? he'll stop when he's full.
