I know every child is different and they all grow at different rates... but I was wondering if anyone knew of a website that showed some kind of baseline for how much infants should be eating. I have an almost 4 week old. He eats about 2-3 ounces every 2 - 21/2 hours. I don't want to underfeed him or overfeed him. Sometimes he eats too much and spits it all out. Anyone know of an average?

For babies the best advice I was given by my doctor and everyone else, is when they are that young, feed them WHENEVER they are hungry :- ) Don't worry, you can't really overfeed a newborn and it is bad to underfeed them.

sounds like he is on track. Your baby will definately let you know if he is still hungry and if he is anything like my son he will push the nipple out with his tongue when he is full.
