How much is your 11 week old eating?

I EBF and I'm trying to give DS bottles of BM so I can get out a little.  I have no idea how much I should thaw.  I don't want to give too little and have him be hungry, but I don't want to give wayy too much and waste all the pumped BM.  So, how much do you give your 11 wk old in a bottle?

My LO is going to be 11 weeks on Friday.  He's still taking about 4 ounces every 2-3 hours.  I have a feeling that will be increasing soon though.

DS is 11 weeks old and is FF. He eats 4 ounces every 2.5-3 hours during the day. At night he sleeps for 6-8 hours before waking up to eat.

My almost-12-week old will take 4-5 oz of pumped milk from a bottle, depending on how long it's been since the last time he ate, etc. He usually gets about a bottle per day. I've used up all the 3-4 oz packages of frozen expressed milk, and am freezing in 5-6 oz packages now, to be ready for after the new year when I go back to work.

Ditto. It's usually 6-7 bottles a day for us.

My almost 12 week old is eating 3.5oz bottles every 2-2.5 hours.  He's always been a snacker though.  He prefers to nurse every 1.5 to 2 hours when we're at home together.
