How much does your 2 1/2 mo old eat?

DD has been eating 4oz every 3 hours on the dot. She is FF. My husband gave her 5oz earlier and I did it again before bed. She took it just fine and didn't spit up a drop. Just wondering if any of your babies eat the same amount. It seems a bit much to me.

Mine sometimes takes 4oz and other times she will guzzle down 6oz.  However much she eats at a time it adds up give or take a few oz to about 35oz a day.

If she takes all of it, it means she's ready to.

My 1mo old just moved up to 4oz every 3hrs (formula). We noticed that about 30mins after giving him 3oz, he'd start fussing & nothing but 1oz of milk would calm him down so now we just give 4oz from the start.

We just had his 2 month checkup last week (he is 10 weeks tomorrow) and our pedi told us to put hom on 6 oz bottles and he eats about every 2.5-3 hours now.

Ghis is the same for us... And we are only 3 weeks old tomorrow. There will be times that he doesn't take the entire 4 ounces, but by the next feeding he will finish it all.

My Lo has been eating 4oz every three hours for the last 2 and a half months. She is currently 12 weeks old. Our pedi told us that is way too much formula and to take away an oz..this was about a month ago. He has consistently told me that I over feed her. She has been eating the same amount pretty much her whole life...So, to answer your question..4oz every 3 hours at 2 1/2 months..

my DD drinks about 4 oz of Formula every 2 hrs on the dot. She is on 5 oz after a 4-5hr sleeping stretch.
