Scarlette is only 7 weeks old, but already she'll take up to 5oz at a time... this is about every 2-4 hours. I am not force feeding or anything like that, she takes what she wants, but that seems to be increasing an awful lot lately! Is it okay for her to eat this much? I try to give her the binky, but she sucks on it for 2 seconds and spits it right out ((and gags in the process))! When we went to the doctors last week, she was up to 4oz, and the doc seemed to think it was okay, but told me not to force it on her ((which I don't)), but now a week later, she's taking a full other oz! Is this okay?

She's probably just going through a growth spurt, most babies do around 2 months old. You shouldn't be too worried about it.

Kenzie is a small, frequent eater. But around 7 weeks she did eat a ton at once. Probably just a growth sput and if not babies always eat what they need!
Kenzie's eatin 4 ounces every 1.5/3 hours!! Seems like all I do is feed this kid- but she's growing and healthy!

I agree, growth spurt -- Damian's been driving me nuts wanting to nurse every 1-2hrs lately, and of course, this week he's growing like a weed lol.

As long as she's not spitting up a ton after, I wouldn't worry about it.
