The first answer pretty much said it.....a baby will eat when hungry and won't when not....if she is hungry feed her....every child is different....so there is no normal....I have seen babies be happy with three oz and other eat up to 5 or 6.....so just feed when hungry and let her eat until she is not.....

2-3 oz. is a classic variety of formula/breast milk for a 2 week old to be eating. yet, if the toddler remains hungry after eating that 2-3 oz. i'd provide him greater. yet do no longer attempt forcing him to drink it. you will understand while he's complete. My daughter used to drink each one million one million/2-2 hours mutually as she grow to be conscious for the duration of the day. yet I feed on call for now, plenty much less confusing. Your toddler won't drink 4-6 ouncesfor awhile. My daughter is each week one million/2 shy of four months & she nevertheless in basic terms drink 4-5 oz & a 6 ounce bottle earlier mattress. they aid you recognize procedures plenty they choose & while sufficient is sufficient. purely bypass via his cue's. If he remains hungry feed him, if no longer do no longer tension it, that's going to in basic terms bring about him vomiting, being fussy or havea abdomen soreness.

Feed her as much as she wants.. And as much as she can hold.. She must be a fast growing baby... Just make sure to keep burping her as normal... If she gets full, she will stop eating. Don't worry about over feeding... She won't take it if she don't want it.. Good luck and congrats on the new baby

My youngest was up to 6oz at 3 weeks.The doc said it`s way too much but she would rather have him drinking too much formula then for me to add cereal at such a young age to his diet.He was fat but is now 29 pounds at 2 and 3 months old so he slimmed down.

When babies are hungry you feed them. When babies are cold you put more clothes on or a blanket over them. When babies are dirty you wash them.
Your little sounds like she is hungry and going through a growing spurt.

my first born son was like that.at only 2-3 weeks old he was drinking 8oz.then he still wasnt happy so we had to put alittle bit of baby cereal in his bottle then at month he was already eating mashed potatoes.Now hes a healthy 14 yr old and he still eats alot.but hes not fat at all..........hes all muscle.
if your daughter is hungry for it...........give it to her.as long as she is healthy.if shes not eaten then you should worry.

She's fine, my son was the same way... try giving her a soother between feedings if you aren't sure if shes really hungry or just wants to suck.

She will stop eating when shes full. Shes also at the time when shes going through a growth spurt.

Don't ever worry about over feeding a baby... if she's hungry, feed her.
