How much formula- 2.5 months?
I have no idea if I'm giving my girls too much or too little formula. They are almost 3 months (2 months adjusted). They take about 4 oz every 3 hours (7 feeds total, skipping one at nite). Sometimes they cant finish and other times they still seem hungry. Does anyone know how much total they should be drinking?Thanks

Re: How much formula- 2.5 months?
Our pedi says between 20-30 ounces per day. Ours take between 4-5 ounces every 4 hours. Mine are the same as yours...sometimes they'll eat whole bottle, sometimes they leave an ounce.
According to the feeding guide I have it says from 2-3 months 5-6 feedings average in 24 hours about 5-6 oz. a feeding average for a total of 25-36 oz. a day average.
My larger twin was hitting about 24-26 oz. a day at that point and my smaller twin was only taking in about 22-24 oz a day. By three months though they were both hitting at least 24 oz. a day. Sounds like your girls are doing fine to me.
