That sounds fine. When my baby was that age she was having about 21 oz per day, now almost 3 months old she's having about 30 oz per day.

It depends on how much she is taking in a sitting. Both of my little ones were over 9 pounds at birth. My daughter never took over 6 ounces the entire time she was on a bottle (until 1 year old). It took her up until she was around 5 months old to drink over 5 ounces in a feeding, and she still slept 6 to 8 hours through the night. My son on the other hand, he is taking full 6 ounce bottles since hes been 9 weeks. He is now 13 weeks. I think your baby is eating enough. Babies will let you know if they are hungry. As long as she is not showing any signs of being uncomfortable or sick, shes probably fine. Make sure she is filling her diapers okay. If you still have questions, ask her peditrician. Hope this helps!

Birth to 4 months # of feedings per day 6-8
total amount in a 24 hour period 18-32 oz
4-6 months # of feedings per day 4-6
total amount in a 24 hour period 28-45 oz
6-9 months # of feedings per day 3-5
total amount in a 24 hour period 24-32 oz
9-12 months # of feedings per day 2-4

this should keep you up to date on how much the baby should be getting, any other questions dont be afraid to ask me

My little sister is 11 weeks old and 11 pounds, she has 24 oz a day. If you compare this it might help.
Good luck. xx

give her a 3 - 4oz bottle every 3 - 4hrs. 18 - 22oz sounds right. If she falls below 16oz call your doctor. Also don't give over 32oz until after 6 months. Hope that helps.

Sounds like enough, but as a rule of thumb give them as much as they want. They know when they are full.

She needs at least 3oz every 3 hours.

Feed her when she's hungry.If will you are feeding her she starts to spit up what she drinks then she's full. If you are majorly concerned I would call her pediatrician to check with him/her.Is this your first child?
Congratulations
