We're bottle feeding formula and our pediatrician said to do 8 oz every 3-4 hours. My son is 2 months old. Some days he seems ravenous and finishes it in like 10 minutes, other days he won't finish. Are we overfeeding? Should we follow his cues or stick to the schedule? Also how do other dads handle night feeds? I've been taking every other night so my wife can sleep but I'm exhausted and wondering if there's a better way to split this.

At 2 months you should definitely be tracking wet diapers and weight gain at checkups. That's really the measure of whether the feeding schedule is working. Some kids just need more frequent smaller feeds.
