My husband and I were talking about this a few days ago. When our daughter was borin in ND, we took her weekly to a well baby checkup til we left the state. They told us to feed a few ounces (cant remember exact) and that it should increase by one ounce for every week. Well, we went back and she was eating around 6 ounces every 3- 4 hours. The nurse proceeded to scold me and my daughters birth grandmother stood up for me and kindly told her that she was hungry and we were feeding her appropriately. She has always been a big eater. She would eat 3 jars of carrots at a meal when 6 months old. She is tiny but tall and must have high metabolism because at 6 she still eats more than her friends and is smaller....................so go with your gut ONLY YOU KNOW YOUR BABY!!! If she is hungry, then feed her .............
