How many oz?

BillysGrl27

I am just curious how many ounces your LOs are eating per feeding. I BF but LO does get an occasional bottle. He can suck down 5-6 ounces like that. He eats every 2-3 hours during the day with 2 longer stretches (5hrs, 3.5 or 4hrs) at night. KellyMom says he should be eating about 3 or 4 ounces per feed...but that doesn't seem to be enough!

So, how much does your almost 3 month old eat?

Usually 4 oz every 3 hrs.  However, this past week, her reflux has been bad and she's been hungrier more often during the day at daycare.  They're feeding her every 2 hrs.

Mine is still eating 4-5 every 3 hours.  I FF though.  I keep reading he should be eating 6-7 oz at this point, but he would spit that all up.  His spit up has already seemed to increase this past week anyway for some reason.

I mainly BF but when she gets bottles while I'm at work, she'll eat 6 oz no problem. She eats every three hours during the day and at night she'll normally sleep between 10 and 5. Sometimes she'll wake up in the middle of the night to eat but usually only on her hungry days. Her bottles also have about half formula and half breast milk because I just can't pump enough.

We FF and she eats 4 1/2 - 5 oz every 3 1/2 - 4 hours. At bedtime she eats 6 oz and STTN.

6 oz ever 3 hours (not including overnight). Sometimes she takes one 8 oz.

30-32 oz per day.

ETA: Mine is over 3 months. Just realized you said under 3 months.

I BF, but for Day Care he gets a 5 oz, a 6 oz and a 5.5 oz bottle. He eats every 3 hours. He is usually hungrier in the middle of the day.

I BF, but during the day at daycare he gets 4 oz bottles of BM every 2-3 hours.

I'm still figuring this out too, but have the opposite problem.  DD will only take 2 ozs every two hours at daycare, but she hates bottles and screams her way through every feeding (or so the teachers tell me.)  That's an improvement over zero ounces over six hours when I first started sending her.  I have no idea how much she should actually be eating but I send her with 9 ozs (or three, 3-oz bottles).

She is eating every 3-4hrs @ daycare, 4.5oz each bottle (3 bottles total)

My DD has had a lot of trouble with reflux and isn't a big eater. She eats 2.5 - 3 oz every 2-3 hours during the day, she is still waking up every 2-4 hours at night as well.

At 11 weeks LO was eating 5 oz every 3 hours and sttn (total of 30 oz). with his 3 month growth spurt he started eating 6-7 oz every 4 hours and sttn (during GS it was up to 35 oz, now he averages about 32).

We offer 4 oz at a time, and it's usually 3-4 hours between feedings.
