Brandi J. - 92 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My first baby was the only one to take a bottle, I remember him taking 2 ozs every 2 hours at that age. However, by the time he was 1 month old, he was taking 4 oz. every 2 hours! It is different w/ every baby, your baby will let you know when he/she is full. Also, it is best to burp your baby between ounces, your baby may not like this, but it will keep your baby from swallowing so much air and will cut down on the amount your baby spits up if this is an issure. One way for you to know if your baby is eating enough is to watch the diapers! What goes in will have to come out. The average newborn will have 5-6 wet diapers/day, and 3-4 dirty.

My baby boy was growing fast and ate alot...some babies need less, so i wouldnt go by stricked oz...I would make like a 5 oz bottle and see how much he drinks.
