My baby is 4 days old and is on 3oz already! He was 8lb 11 born but he could eat more… do I offer more or leave it at that (he’s having it every 3 hours)

Are you pace feeding the bottles?

Little and often

Rule of thumb is usually 150ml-200ml per kilo of body weight over 24 hours so it would depend on the amount of feeds but you could work it out. If he’s comfortable and going 3 hours, I’d personally leave it. My little boy didn’t go any longer than 2 hours at that age. He’s now nearly 3 months and would still have a feed if offered regardless 🤣🙃

Make sure you pace feed but also burp them half way and after. New borns keep feeding when they have wind pain because eating stops the wind pain.
