How much should a 3 week old drink

#firsttimemom Hi there, ftm here. My 3 week old is constantly waking up and asking for milk. He is on full FM and drinks about 800mls a day. Is that enough or too much for a 3 week old?

Baby should feed minimum weight * 120 / 8 = (ml) Or maximum amount of weight *150 / 8 =(ml) Example baby is 4kg * 120 / 8= 60ml is minimum 4kg * 150/8= 75ml is maximum baby should drink to prevent overfeeding issue. Baby have normal reflex of sucking and showing hunger cues instead so many new parents overfed their babies.
