How much does your 2-3m old eat?

aMaNdAp12 · May 2011

LO is just about 2 and a half months old and she hasnt increased the amount of formula she drinks for a long time now. She has been drinking 4oz, SOMETIMES 5oz every 2-3 hours now for well over a month.... When should I expect her to increase this amount and increase the amount of time between feedings?

Mine is the same age adnd we are LUCKY if he eats 3 oz every 2-3 hours. He usually takes 2 every 2 hours. At night he will take a bigger bottle (4) and sleeps quite awhile. As long as she's growing and having poops/pees, don't be concerned.

I read on Kellymom that babies don't really increase the amount they eat between 1 and 6 months. I remember DS eatiing the same at one month that he was at 9 months (of course at that time he was eating solids as well). DD is eating five 5oz bottles per day and has been on that schedule for about a month. Except for growth spurts, she won't really change.

DS eats a 4 oz bottle every 2-3 hrs during the day and 4 at night. he averages 28-32 ounces a day which i think is on the high end, but kid likes to eat. i was surprised, he hasn't changed his feeding quantities during the transition from BM to formula. it was 4 oz BM, then 3 oz BM and 1 oz formula and this week it's 2/2 and yet he's just as hungry as he's always been.

She eats about the same. 4-5 oz. every 2-3 hours. She goes longer at night.

My LO is 3 months now. He will take 4-5 oz. every 3-4 hours sometimes every 2 hours. But, he is STTN from 10pm to about 430 or 5 am! I was wondering about that because I have this flyer from similac that says he should be taking about 6 oz???

My LO drinks 5oz every 3-4 hours. She just started going longer between feedings, it used to be about 2-3 hours. At night she goes about 6-8 hours.

4-5oz every 3-4 hrs. SHes a big time sleeper and I have to wake her up to eat once she hits the 4hr mark if she doesn't wake on her own.

During the day DS takes 5 oz every 3 to 4 hours. At night he takes a 6 oz bottle before bed, then he sleeps 8 to 10 hours and will take another 6 oz bottle when he wakes up.

She drinks 4-5 oz during the day every 3 ish hours. At night she will take one last bottle of 4 oz, then sleep for 6-7 hours before needing another bottle. She is right on the edge of drinking enough 5 oz bottles for me to need to buy new ones, since all of my bottles are 4 oz.
