How do I get my 4 week old to take more then 2 oz at a time? he smetimes takes 3-4 oz of formula or BM but most of the time he only takes 2 oz. Isn't this too little? Cna this be a reason why he wants to eat every 1 1/2 -2 hours and doesn't sleep well?

Ava is almost 4 months and still only eats 2 oz of breast milk the few times she has had a bottle. Haven't tried formula though.

She actually doesn't nurse often. Maybe 4 times a day then 2 times at night (every 3 hours at night time). I only pump once a day, 3-5 oz then try and give her one bottle a day so when I go back to work she is used to it. She hates it. lol

His tummy is still tiny at his age and feeding every 1 1/12 to 2 hours is normal. He will take more and stretch out his feeds as he gets older though.
