Dylan is drinking 4 1/2 ozs. every 3 hours on the dot and seems like he could do maybe 5 ozs....does this seem like alot? should I try 5 ozs??????? he doesn't spit up - only rarely..... -------------------- Christine, wife to Dave 9/29/01, Mom to Olivia 6/7/02 and Dylan 12/16/06

My ped always said it was fine as long as he wasn't just eating a whole bunch and then spitting up. He always said when he got to the point of consistently emptying bottles to make a little more and he would drink it if still hungry. So, if it were me, I would make 5 oz and see if he drinks it.
