How much did your three week old drink?

Mine will happily have 210 ml every circa 3 hours. Is this normal? The box says that’s too much? He would carry on if I made another bottle, should I be doing this at every feed?

"too much" for one baby might be not enough for another. Everyone has different appetites.

I didn't bottle feed myself, but if he seems genuinely hungry I would give him more. Just keep an eye on his weight to make sure he isn't being overfed.

My boy was just glued to me for 3 months when he was born. It was pretty much constant feeding even now as a toddler he still never refuses food when offered

My baby was having 120ml at 3 weeks but sometimes seemed like he could have had more. He was draining the bottles, but now we have upped him to 150ml (he’s 4 weeks today) he is stopping himself at 120ml anyway. He’s having around 730ml total a day.
