how much does your 3 month old eat?

tracieanchris · May 2009

Shes been drinking 6 oz bottles of BM while at daycare. This seems like a lot to me! I think she is going through a growth spurt. How much does your 3month old eat at one time?

DS took down 6 oz on Sunday night. Apparently this is way too much. I have no idea!

DD eats anywhere from 5-6oz. every 3 hours. The doctor said it was too much but what am I suppose to do. If I don't give it to her she just screams and I'm not going to starve my child.

My 3 month old has been eating 6-9 ounce bottles for at least the past month. He is FF and eats about 38 ounces per day.

Disclaimer: He is 97% for both height and weight

Not necessarily. Big babies eat more.

DS was taking 6oz at 3mos, and now he takes 7oz every 3-4hrs. It's not too much. Every baby is diff tho!!

I usually always fix 4 oz. bottles for her when she has a bottle of EBM. Sometimes she eats it all, sometimes she will only eat 2 or 3 oz. of it and wants the rest about 30 minutes later. She likes to snack.

Haha - she very rarely does this to me while bfing - it seems to be more with the bottle.....she may not be getting as much milk from me as I think she is at each feeding though - who knows! Sometimes I feel like she isn't eating enough - but she's gaining weight so that's all that matters to me!
