If she has enough wet diapers then shes getting enough. Most babies lose weight after birth before they leave the hospital. Feed her however much she wants. She will let u know how much she wants.

As long as she has plenty of wet diapers, I wouldn't worry. Some kids are big eaters, others aren't.

sounds fine. when DD was that young, she ate anywhere between half an oz to 2 oz. it just depends. as long as she's got plenty of dirty diapers for you, she should be fine ;)
