My 8 week old drinks about 3oz from a bottle.If he drains it quickly I’ll then give him another oz or two.Sometimes he leaves a drop behind.Don’t forget that breast fed babies will not drink as much from a bottle as formula fed babies will.I’d start off with 2oz and top up if needed so you don’t waste the milk x

thank you that’s really helpful.
My little boy is 8 weeks too so I’ll start off with a few oz to begin with x
