I think the web sites will tell you that a healthy baby will drink as much as he/she wants and needs. Breast milk is more satisfying than formula. And breast fed babies are smaller than formula fed babies.

If you don't believe me, try La Leche League. Where's Gaugie, he should like this site.<g>

My best friend and I are now discussing this. SHe is 57% pure and very trustworthy. I now know lots more about her than I did before the test.
We both breastfed and while we think 5 oz is not very much at all, we also would guess that the baby is missing mom's breast and rebelling against the nipple. Has she had many bottles before?
By the way, we also both thought breast milk was less filling ( but tastes great). NUrsing babies tend to feed more frequently at first.

We don't think you should worry about it though, especially if she seems happy and content. Does she seem ok?
