How much did/does your 3 month old eat and how often?

Right now Ryan eats 5-6 ounces every 3-4 hours, but goes 10-12 hours at night without eating. How much does your LO eat?

Edit: Also, what size nipples do you use?

Size 2 nipples.

And she eats 5 oz every 3-4 hrs. Goes about 11 hrs at night without eating.

4-5 oz every 2.5-3 hours, 10-12 hours overnight. She still on the slow flow nipples, anything else she either spills have the bottle or chokes.

Ive heard that you take their weight, and multiply it by 2.5 to get an idea of what they should be eating throughout the day, but there is no magic number. If hes eating and growing thats what matters.

Mason is 17 pounds. So 17 x 2.5 = 42.5 which sounds like a lot, but its actually really close to what he is eating.

But it really doesnt matter how much someone elses baby is eating, it all just depends on the needs and want of yours. We switched over to the fast flow nipples a little while ago and he might go 6-7 hours at night.

Slow-flow, stage one Dr. Browns when she gets a bottle. She only gets a bottle while I am at work, then she gets 5oz every 2.5 to 3 hours. She eats every 2.5 to 3.5 during the day and she can go 8 to 10 at night.
