How many times a day does your 3-4 month old eat

My DD eats 6 times a day and I just want to compare with others to see if that's normal.

TIA!

    Usually 5 times a day.  I have been having a bit of supply issues this past week though, so a couple days it has been 6.

    DS eats six times a day, about 3-4 oz each time spaced about 3 hours apart.  We add rice cereal to his bottles for AR so he doesn't take quite as many oz as other babies his age/size because the cereal is filling.

    4-5 bottles during the day that are 4-5oz and than two 7-8oz bottles in the morning when she wakes up and just before bed. Except lately...she's been a little piglet and eating 4-5 more oz than she normally does. But overall she evens out to about 32-35oz a day.

    Usually 6 times a day & approx 4 oz each feeding. I usually BF but when I pump and give him a bottle that's how much he takes. He weighs 9lbs 7 oz if that helps for comparison.

    At that age mine ate 5 - 6 times a day.  She would eat about 25 ounces a day.  Now she takes 4 bottles a day and is still eating only about 27 or 28 ounces a day, usually 27, but that's all she wants and she is growing fine.

    DD eats about 4 oz (sometimes 5) every 2-3 hours. she also gets a little bit of cereal in the evening to help her practice with a spoon.

    she seems to be averaging 24-28oz a day. Sometimes she'll have 6oz then the next time 2oz, then maybe 4oz. so I guess 5-6 bottles/feedings a day about,

    This will vary depending on formula or breastmilk. Babies increase the amount of formula they eat as they grow, while most breastfed babies do not significantly change since the composition of the milk changes to meet their needs. Also BF babies usually eat more often since BM is digested more quickly.

    That said, DD is EBF and eats 6-7 times a day and takes 4-5 oz. bottles.

    about 10 times, we EBF on demand (he nurses every 2-4 at night as well, that's why the number is so high)

    Usually about 5.  She breast feeds first thing in the morning, in the middle of the day and at bedtime when I'm not working and gets 2 5-6oz bottles.  Occasionally, she will get another 2-4 oz if it's been a little while between her last BF session and actual bed time.

    I'd say 8-10 times I EBF and feed on demand so really don't pay much attention to it, he definatley has a pattern though and in the morning I'd say I feed him 3-4 times, he wakes up 1-2 times during the night that I feed him and I believe DH feeds him 3-4 times at night when I'm working so 7-10 times on any given day i guess. no clue how much when DH feeds him between 3pm and midnight he takes in about 10-12 oz
