[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 206296, member: 539"] That's not enough - she needs to be getting 8 pints, or as close to 8 pints a day as she will eat and then increased to 8 pints as she grows. Increase it about a half pint every 2 or 3 feedings depending on how well she tolerates the last increase until she is getting a gallon of replacer a day. I personally feed my bottle babies more, but that is just me. Since she is so small, you would probably be farther ahead to cut that gallon into 3 or 4 feedings - if possible - so she doesn't have to go so long between feedings as her little tummy might not be able to handle 4 pints at once.
