eating habits??

so...what is normal for babies to eat. like how much? braylee is 6 weeks and eats about 3 oz every 3 hours but is starting to eat 4 every 3 hours. is that normal? when do they start eating more? how often? should i space it out more?

braylee has colic and cries alot so im not sure if its a hungry cry or what..

any input?

Zander ate that much when he was that young. Then he slowed down. Sometimes it depends on the time of day. Sometimes he almost eats twice that much. And then sometimes not as much. But he is a big baby. I think formula is more filling though. I am breastfeeding, so I'm not sure. I would just try and feed her for a half hour or so and if she seems like she doesn't want it, then it's probably the colic. Sometimes it takes me over an hour or so to feed him completely and get him satisfied. If you've done all you can to make her happy, then that's all you can do. They go through growth spurts also. I think around 6 weeks and then 2 months or something. Good luck, I hope you are doing ok being a new Mom.
