Gemmity: I found 2 oz was enough for DS (also 7 weeks ). There's something on Kellymom - I think you divide 24oz by the average number of feeds per day. DS feeds little and ofter so 2oz about right.

Mine would have one of those little Avent bottles more or less.
It was 5 oz I think.
This did them from about 3-4 weeks to about 7 months if I was away for about 3 hours.
Would leave another one if away longer.

Robin Barker's baby love book says 4-8 weeks, 4-5 oz and 8-12 weeks, 5-8 oz plus the calculation is 2 1/2 oz per pound of body weight for each 24 hour period when babies are under three months. So you would have to go American in measurements for that part.

Good luck
