That sounds about right. My LO would take about 16 ounces at that age over a 10 hour period, plus 3-4 additional nursings.

That sounds about right - at that point, that's what my LO was doing, too, though I think he had one less feeding. He's never really taken more than 24 ounces in a day.

What I do is always put in slightly more milk than what I *think* he will take. So if he takes 3..5 I'd put 3.75 in there....so that I would know when he was ready to up his intake.

@winniebee: so i've been reading through some of the old exclusive pumper threads bc i just started with my LO for the past week. She's only a little more than 2 weeks old. i'm trying to figure out how much i should be giving her. she's still small, on tuesday she was 6lb 5.5 oz. she was getting about 16oz all last week. i increased it and yesterday she got 18oz. it seems like she'll just eat whatever i give her. so i read that u increased what was in the bottle by .25oz, i feel like my LO would just drink whatever was in the bottle. unless i'm not feeding her enough to begin with? i don't want to overfeed her but i also want to get her up to the average 24oz/day i've been reading online. any thoughts? sorry kind of long!
