Babies: 0 - 3 Months

FF'ers / EP'ers... how much does your 3 m/o eat?

we're up to 5.5 oz. ?No sign of increasing the amount any time soon. ?He usually takes 4.5-5oz and we usually have to work with him over the next 45 minutes or so to take the last drops.

  • 6 oz every 3 hours.  He STTN now, so in the morning he will take 7-8 oz in hir first bottle.

  • I know you're a week ahead of me, but Sarah takes about 5 ounces at most feedings and actually has for a little while, but I'm thinkinging that might go up at the 3 months growth spurt.

  • This makes me wonder if I'm not giving him enough.... DS is a little younger but takes 4 oz of EBM every 3 hours.  I went to the Dr. last week and he is 12.5 pounds top of the % so she did not see a need for me to adjust his feedings.  but I do supplement 4 oz of Formula during his dream feed to help him last a little longer thru the night. 
  • Usually 6 oz. every 3 or 4 hours. Sometimes a little less if he is really tired and just wants to sleep. But, on average, 6 oz.
  • They both take 5-6 oz every 3 hours.  At night they eat at 8:00 and sleep until about 2 am.  Audrey eats 6oz and Ryan will eat 4-6 depending on his mood.  Then they eat again between 7:00 and 8:00 am and back to their 3 hour schedule.
