FM intake for newborn

Hi Mummies! I am FTM. My son is turning 3 weeks old. I fed him 60ml of FM as instructed on the FM can but for the past days after each feeding he doesnt seems full. I then increase to 80ml and he seems more relax after feeding. My concern is will i be overfeeding him? Should i continue to feed him with 80ml or stick to just 60ml?

is he solely on formula milk or mix of breastmilk? how often do you feed him? hmm my baby is just 2 weeks old and he feeds on 60ml every 2 hours. even with this amount, when I visit the doctor, she mentioned that can even start to give more.. but I guess every baby has their own appetite and it also depends on their weight as well. I see some mommies mentioned on the chat that their babies are drinking 90ml l every 2 to 3 hours at 2 weeks old. I think numbers are just a guideline, as long as he doesn't shows signs of overfeeding, I think you can stick to 80ml - feed on demand
