Since about 2 wks old dh has been drinking anywhere between 120 and 200 mls per feed but the last week or 2 he has only been drinking 70 and thats it, he is still having the same frequency of wet nappies but not as heavy nappy and he doesn't look dehydrated I don't think.
Has he increased how many feeds he's having a day as well? If not, I'd be inclined to discuss it with a paed and get him checked out. He should be slowly increasing the amount in his bottles and while a 70ml feed here and there would be fine, I personally think at every feed (now) seems a bit odd.
DD is breast and bottle fed with EBM. She started on about 70mls at 2 weeks of age and has gradually increased the amount of EBM to 130 mls as of yesterday. I currently have me lactation consultant's infant scales so I can weigh DD after each breast and she's taking between 110 and 150 mls off the breast too. She was 7 weeks old yesterday.
According to a quick Google search, FF babies need 150-200mls of formula per KG per day until 3 months then roughly 120mls per KG after 3 months.
Is this normal?
