How much does your 3-4 month old eat?

vballset2

I am BFing and now going back to work---I don't know how much to give my DS for bottles.  Any suggestions? 

I had been doing 4 oz bottle in the morning

2 oz of juice (for poo issues) & 2-3 oz BM in the afternoon (3-4 hours later)

 Does this sound right for a 3 1/2 month old?

Thanks!

dd is bf and she is eating about 4.5 oz - this just went up this week from 4oz.

I EP for DD and she eats 4.5-5oz a feeding (normally she eats anywhere from every 3-5 hrs).

DS is FF and eats about 5  6oz bottles a day, give or take.  He eats about every 3 1/2 hours during the day

DS is EBF and he takes 5.5-6oz of BM every 3-4 hours. But he is a big boy with a big appetite, he ate 8oz the other day after having gone 5 hours between feedings 

Don't count the juce toward how many ounces your baby is 'eating.'

DS is FF and gets 5 oz (with cereal) every 3 hours. Before we were adding cereal it was 6 oz every 3 hours.

Okay---that helps!  Thanks guys!  I didn't know I wasn't supposed to count the juice...I figured ounces are ounces when filling up that belly.  Oops!
