My 8-week-old, 10 1/2-pound daughter eats only 2 to 4 ounces of formula at every feed. I try to space her feeds out to about every three hours, but sometimes she wants to eat every one to two hours. She will not eat more than the 2 to 4 ounces each time. How much should she be eating each time and how long should she wait between feeds? She only sleeps two to three hours in a row at night, and every reference I find says that once she weighs 11 pounds, she should sleep through the night.

My baby is 3 weeks old. What causes frequent hiccups in a breastfeeding infant?
Our GP told my wife and me to start our 4-month-old on cereal, but he won't take the spoon. It ends up being a frustrating experience for all of us. My wife and I usually give up and put the cereal right into the bottle and finish it off that way. Is it too early to start him on a spoon or are we not giving him enough time to adjust?
There is no real substitute for breast milk, but most babies get some formula.
