Demand Feeding Advice

We are demand feeding with my 6 week old DS; currently, we're at 3-4 hour intervals, which is great, but he seems to be wanting different amounts at different times.

Usually, he has between 4-5oz per feed. At night, he only does 2-3oz, and during the evening, he can "demand" up to 7oz

He was 4 weeks prem but a really good weight at birth 6'13oz, we're now at 9lb so I know whatever we're doing is clearly working but just wanted to ask if anyone else is experiencing this?!

Also... poop is quite watery and yellow. Is this normal?! I can't remember my first sons habits as that was almost 13 years ago 😳

Any advice or words of encouragement greatly accepted for very tired 2nd time Mum 😴😅 x

I would say 3-4 hours is on the longer side for that age, but it all sounds fairly normal.

And yes, liquid mustard coloured poop until they start solids.
