DS2 was a big baby (9lb 4oz at birth) but he will take 2oz formula each feed and then shut up shop completely.

But then want feeding 2/2.5 hours later - is this normal? Although DS1 is only 2.5, have completely forgotten whether he was the same or not.

Surely a big baby should be taking more than 2oz?

This is really normal.

Ds1 was 8lb7 and drank 6oz bottles practically from birth. Ds2 was 8lb4 and I think he only finished a 6 oz bottle once in his life. AT 2 weeks it was about 2 oz.

Someone told me to try teasing him with his dummy to stretch time between feeds but tbh he just got angry so I didn't.

It does sound normal to me, to be honest.
