How many oz does your 3 month old eat?

jennaglardon · January 2010

My son just started sleeping between 6-8 hrs through the night. Just curious as to how much he should be eating? Im going to check with his pedi on the 10th but didnt know what your LO's were eating?

My son has a 10hour stretch of sleep at night. He still wakes up at about 3:30 and slams down 4 or 5 ounces and goes back down until about 6:30 or 7. Throughout the day he eats 4 or 5 oz about every 3 or 4 hours.

Usually 4. If she is fussy and sucked it down fast we give an extra ounce which makes 5. I wish I knew how much she eats when she breastfeeds. I wonder if its very different.

He usually eats anywhere from 4.5 to 5.5 ounces. He isn't very consistent.

DS takes 5.5 oz every 3 hours when I am at work, I'm not sure how much he gets when I am home with him because I breastfeed him.

6 oz., 5 times per day.

My LO drinks 6 ounces 5 times a day (approximately every 4 hours) and then he sleeps 8 - 9 hour strech at night.

6-7 oz. 6 times a day, but I think he eats more than most.

DD eats about 4 oz per feeding.

I think she eats about 3 ounces every 2-4 hours.

BlueKJ · January 2010

4-5 oz. every 3 hours during the day. Wakes once in the night to eat. Goes to bed a 9 p.m. and wakes at 7 a.m. usually.

He eats 30 ounces a day. Usually six 5 oz bottles.

angie05161 · January 2010

He usually drinks 4-5 bottles during the day of 6-7 oz each, which is about every 3-4 hours. He goes to sleep between 8-9 PM most nights and wakes up once for another 4 oz bottle. Then he sleeps until 7 AM on weekdays and 8-9 AM on weekends. Total he's getting 30-35 oz/day, which I think is too much but the pedi's not worried.

I EBF so I am not totally sure...but when I give her a bottle of BM, she will drink anywhere from 2-4oz. She averages about 3....she eats every 2 hours during the day and she has a 6 hour stretch at night then wakes up (I then BF so I don't know how much she drinks) and then sleeps another 4.5 hours.

She eats around 6oz (sometimes a little less) about every 3 hours and sleeps about 8 hours at night.

bim38106 · January 2010

I BF but when she takes a bottle, it's 4-6 oz. She eats every 3.5 hours during the day, every 2 hours in the evening before bed, and is up once a night to eat.

General rule is multiply their weight by 2.5 and that's about how many ounces they should get in a day. Then you could divide that # by how many bottles a day and that should be your about-how-many-ounces per bottle

6 oz, 5 times a day, spread out in 4 hour increments, give or take 30 mins.

ZAngel · January 2010

4.5-5oz every 2.5 hours during the day. She sleeps anywhere from 6-10 hour stretches at night. If she wakes up after 6 she will take 5oz and go back down for another 4-5 hours.
