My son is 2 months old and he's not on 7oz every 3 hours, he was 8lb 6oz born and I've been told thats why he has such an appetite. Should he be on hungry baby instead?

Amount sounds fine. I wouldn't give hungry milk as it had no more calories but it's harder to digest

Babies should always leave some milk in the bottle. If they are drain the bottle then you need to offer more milk.

Advice is also to feed him when he shows feeding cues rather than at a set time.

My DS was exactly the same, he was 9lb2oz born. Hungry baby milk didn't agree with him, I think it's unnecessary and too harsh on their tummies, I wish I hadn't have tried it - I'd stick with normal milk, just up the ounces if he cries but if he seems satisfied then I wouldn't worry.
