Nick was eating about that much....and he was still acting hungry! I told the dr., he said that was a bit too much for him to be eating. He finally told me try giving him rice cereal in the bottles 3X per day when Nick was 8 weeks...that filled him up more and he was back down to eating about 27 oz. per day. But I know that a lot of people do not agree with giving the baby cereal this early....so maybe ask your ped. if it is ok that he is eating that much?
Jack is 11 weeks old and is eating about 5 ounces 5 times a day. I do add about a teaspoon of rice cereal to his dinner time bottle. He sleeps from about 10pm to 7am without waking or needing a feeding. So I try to feed him every 3 hours or so during the day to make sure he eats enough to hold him over for the night.

That is FANTASTIC! Great sleep for you and DH! You are truly an inspiration!
That is great sleep for 11 weeks! Nick was sleeping for about 6 hours straight at the most, then eating, then back for about 4 more hours. Then on New Year's Eve he slept for 10 hours straight - I was shocked. He has done it every night since...last night he even slept for 11 hours! I do get up once or twice to put the pacifier back in his mouth though - if I don't, he will completely lose it! I am the same way - I keep thinking it is just a fluke.
that's about right. that is what my Alia drank. she is four months and drinks 7 ounzes and i started with the cereal yesterday. slowly but surely.
