Do bottle fed newborns normally cluster feed too?

Not only is my 8 day old DS2 already drinking 3-5 oz per feed (already posted on this) but he seems to be starving between tea time and about 11pm, think he would feed every hour if I let him. I bf DS1 who followed the same pattern although of course I don't know how much milk he was getting. Is this common?

Very common. i bottlefed 4 dc and 3 of them fed every 2 hours, sometimes less! And they were definitely more hungry during the hours you've said. Just feed on demand!

Thanks frazzled, my gut feeling was to do just that and now i will
