How much are y’all’s babies eating?
Mine has been taking 6 oz since he was 2 months old and no matter how much I give he still whines after so I never know if he’s actually hungry because you can soothe with a paci. How do I know when to give him more or not?

When we experiment with volumes, we will add an extra ounce to the bottle and see what she does. If she takes it down now problem we know she is wanting more. If she doesn't want it she will move it away with her hand when she's done or push it out with her tongue.

We use donor milk with our girl and we pasteurize it every night. Once it's pasteurized it's good for 24 hours, so we tend to experiment the most with her dream feeds. Instead of measuring out an exact amount, we will just pour whatever is left over from the day into the bottle and see how much of it she takes. If we know we have extra from the start, we will add 1 oz to a feed during the day :)
