how much is your 3 month old eating?

she will be 3 months on sunday she still takes 4 oz. but sometimes still seems hungry just wondering what your 3 month old is eating.

Normally about 5-6 oz at a time. Sometimes as much as 7-8oz in a sitting.

Ditto PP.  (Although Claire is just shy of 3 months.)

Before she goes to bed, she usually has 8-10 oz because she sleeps an 8-9 hour stretch.

He eats 5-6oz bottles, 5 or 6 bottles a day

DS has never eaten more than 5 ounces at one time - and I have tried! He usually eats around 4 ounces...

DD eats 6 or 7 five ounce bottles per day.

She eats four 6 oz bottles every day.

I never "force feed" her but I do cluster formula feed at night.  I'll give her a couple ozs an hour and a half before bed, more the hour before bathtime, and then a bottle right before bed.  She eats it right up--I think there's an instinct maybe that she knows she is not going to be eating for a while because she's going to be asleep for so long?

 During the day, she goes 3-5 hour stretches between bottles.

6oz 5 times a day

4 ounce bottles, 3x a day and two breastfeeding sessions that vary in length so I'm not sure what he really taking in then.

4-5 ozs at a time. She's been at that amount for about a month and a half. I'm ready for her to eat more so she can sleep longer at night!

5 bottles of 5.5 - 6 oz per day

DS eats 4 oz bottles about every 2-3 hours during the day.  I wish he would eat more but I can't seem to get him to.  If he goes longer than 3 hours (which doens't happen often) he will eat 5 or 6 oz.  When he wakes up during the night or 1st am, he will eat a 6 oz bottle.

6oz a bottle usually, with one large one when she wakes up after her first long stretch at night. She usually eats around 5pm last at daycare, so she won't take a huge bottle at night before bed

She has 4oz about every 3 hours which averages out to about 24oz over 6 feedings. I've tried to give her more (she's tiny, only 10.5 pds at 3.5 mos) and she'll very occassionally take 5 or 6 oz. Like 1-2 times a week. But she's down to only waking once a night, so I'm hoping STTN is coming soon!
