How much ML should my one week old be drinking?

I know all babies are different but just wanted some advice on how much their newborn babies are drinking. My little boy is now 1 week old and seems to be finishing a full 90ml bottle, so I’ve just fed him there and given him 100ml and he seems happy enough and is now happy sleeping. Is this normal? Midwife says it’s fine as long he’s in no distress? He is “milk drunk” usually after his feeds but I’m worried as upon googling it states that a week old’s stomach is still small and should only take roughly 45-60ml. Not sure if I should add but midwife weighed him a few days ago and he is over his birth weight by 1/4oz not sure if this matters? Has anyone else got really hungry babies? Or is this just the normal for this age? Pic of my baby Joey for attention🥹💙

My baby is really hungry too! She's having 90ml every 2-3 hours x

@Beckie im glad my boy isn’t the only one! Does yours have hiccups a lot or frequently popping

@Leanne she has hiccups after every feed! They sound really aggressive too bless her 🥹 and she poos once a day normally or just abit over 24 hours xx

@Beckie Ok I’m glad we’re in the same boat😂🙈🫶🏻💙💓xx

@Leanne we just have some hungry babies 😂💕 xx

This just popped up on my feed, I got so worried with our first we were ‘over feeding’ but I truly believe that they take what they need so feed away!

My baby is 6 days old and on around 50ml a feed - she is only 6lb though xx

He just had another wee feed there but was only 75-80ml, he was very sleepy however so this might have contributed to the fact he didn’t take a full 3oz x

My daughter has 100ml per feed

My boys 4 weeks on Saturday and he's drinking 150ml (5oz) every 3 hrs😂😵‍💫 I thought I was over feeding him but midwife said he he wants it then let him! Don't think there's a limit xx
