How much does/did your 3-4 mth old eat?

I'm still giving my girls 4 ounces.  They usually start crying after 2 hours to eat again.  I started giving them a 6 nounce bottle at 5 am (the only time they wake up) and most of the time they finish it but they havent eaten in 8 hours.

I BF, so I don't know how much he eats exactly, but I can say that right around 4 months he started wanting to eat really frequently...like every 1-2 hours.  He had been regularly going 3-4 hours between feedings.  The pedi said their caloric needs skyrocket at about 4 months, and that's part of the reason we started solids...to give me a tiny bit of relief!  He doesn't really eat much, though, so it hasn't changed things much.

We give our girls 5 ounces at every feeding and sometimes we have to give them another ounce or two.  They eat every 3 hours during the day and then whenever they wake up at night, which ranges from 12:30-4:00 generally.  I'm up with Paige right now (and she's wide fricking awake at 2am) and she just had 4 and a half ounces...

Every baby is different.

My niece who is 14 months old eats like a bird and still only takes about 4 ounces of milk she never took much more than 4 - 5 oz's of formula every 4 hours before she moved onto solids.

My almost 3 month old son takes in 5 oz's of expressed breast milk or formula every 3 hours, and when I am not at work he breast feeds every 1.5-2 hours.  He actually eats so much that I have to at times supplement with Formula because my milk production can't keep up with his appetite.

DS eats 6 oz, and DD eats 3-6 oz (I know, totally variable), both about 5-6 times a day.

He has actually started to eat less, since STTN. He eats anywhere from 20 to 28 oz. He used to east 36 t0 40. I am actually concerned, but he is gaining weight slowly and peeing enough, and pedi is not worried... Yesterday He had 20 oz and I pretty much kept him awake to drink another bottle. He takes 4 oz at a time or so...
