Unfortunately he tends to hate his paci. He will take it sometimes but not very often and he only sucks for a minute or two then spits it out.
Quoting Turtledoves:
Are you sure he's hungry? Maybe he just wants to suck. Try a pacifier after feedings and see if that soothes him.

Thank you mommas :)

10lbs x 2= 20oz per day minimum
10lbs x 2.5= 25oz per day maximum
11lbs x 2= 22oz per day minimum
11lbs x 2.5=27.5oz per day maximum...
take those numbers and divide by the typical number of feedings per day to get how many ounces per feeding.
and I agree, some babies just need to suck more than others, you might try a pacifier.

my ds drank 9 oz at that age. And the doctor said as long as he wasnt getting sick it was ok -
I always fed on demand, and if he seemed more hungry give him 1/2-1 oz more.
My 1st was already up to 6 oz at that point, but my 2nd ate 4 oz until he was 3 1/2 months old.

I don't understand these questions really. If hes hungry why wouldn't you feed him? Unless he has a medical condition children don't overeat they eat what they need when they need. If you were breastfeeding you would have no way to measure his intake and would have a more natural approach to one of the most basic natural things we as humans do...EAT.
