Breastfeeding

2.5 weeks - how much milk?

DD is still eating mainly from a bottle, and I'm concerned that the reason she's so slow to gain weight is that she really isn't eating that much (but eats til she is full and doesn't want more..), except I'm not sure what is normal for a 2.5 week old.  (Most info online is for one month +).

Yesterday she ate 14.5 ounces in 24 hours plus 2 30-or-so minute sessions on the breast - even if she got 1-2 ounces from the breast that's only 18.5ounces max (and prob more like 16).  Is that a reasonable amount, or should she be eating a lot more?

I pumped 21.5 ounces in the same 24 hours...
