My almost 2 month old used to take approx 800ml expressed milk a day when she was 4-6 weeks old. But since last two weeks she is hardly taking 650ml per day. Shouldn’t the intake increase with age? After taking 60-70ml she pushes the bottle from her mouth. Please advise

A. dear mum, feeding pattern of baby can vary from time to time. you should feed as per your baby's demand. if baby is passing urine more than 7 times in 24 hours and baby is active, alert and gaining adequate weight then feeding is sufficient.
