How often do you feed your newborn baby? And at what age does the feeding change?

I have a 13 day old newborn baby, and I’ve heard SO MANY different feeding tips from each doctor that I go to. I was told to feed my baby every 2-3 hours, but not to go over 4 hours. I feed her anywhere from 2oz-4oz at each feeding. She is ~8lbs. She is fed formula, not breast milk. (Have had too many problems). Anyway, do you have any suggestions for me about feeding my newborn?
And at what age does it change?

My LO is 7 weeks, 14 lbs and formula fed. He eats anywhere from 2-3 hours and usually 2-4 oz. Sometimes he wants more, and usually 1 oz does the trick. Its hard to know when they are that small what is right and I know the first 2 weeks, I OBSESSED about when, and how much I was feeding him. Now I just pay attention to his cues and I know how to distinguish his "hungry" cry. If she is hungry feed her and don’t worry about the clock. Oh and my baby sleeps 6+ hours some nights so I wouldn’t worry about going over 4 hours with a feed. Sometimes formula keeps them full longer so go with your gut. She will let you know if she is hungry!! Good luck:)
