How many ounces at a time?

SweetT94 · October 2012

i have a pretty big baby girl.....she was17 pounds at 3 months!!!

She is still taking 4 ounces about every 4 hours. I was thinking it was probably time to up those ounces (and the hours)? she seems to completely finish each bottle, but doesnt act like she wants more.

what are your june babies eating and what do they weigh?

I have no idea how much she weighs. At 2 months, she was 11lbs. I make 5 oz bottles for her. She mostly finishes them. She is still eating frequently, about every 2 to 3 hours during the day. At night, she'll want to be fed after 6 to 7 hours of sleep.

My LO is 15 pounds at 4 months...I EBF so do not know how much he takes. He eats every 2 hours so I'm guessing he drinks about 2-3 oz each time. When my mother babysits, she feeds him 2.5 oz bottles every 2 hours.

My LO is 18 weeks, he weighs 10 pounds, and eats 7oz every 45 hours. :

Im guessing we're in the 15-16 pound range. We are doing 4 oz every few hours with 5oz at lunch and bedtime.

My 4 mo little girl is eating about 6 times a day and 4-5 oz per feeding. I'd say she is probably getting between 25-35 oz per day. She weighs about 14ish pounds...

My guy is over 17lbs and taking 5oz bottles every 2 1/2 3hours for a total of 30oz per day

Renee weighs about 17 or 18 lbs I believe. Right now she eats about 5 ounces every 3 hours during the day.

6 ounces around every 4 hours longer over night though

Meery82 · October 2012

About 15 lbs, 6 oz every 3-4 hours

My LO is EBF but when I give her a bottle she usually takes about 4 oz every 3 hours. Had her to the Dr last week and she was 12 1/2 lbs at 3 3/4 months

GeekFantasy · October 2012

14ish pounds, 3.5-4 oz every 3-4 hours.

dhrx01 · October 2012

My LO takes 4 bottles per day (sleeps almost 12 hours at night). About 7 oz each time. In general anywhere from 28-30 oz in a day.

DD was 16lbs at 3 months and eats about 24-28oz in a day. She takes 6oz every 4-5 hours and sleeps a min of 8hrs overnight.

alizabethanne · October 2012

12.5lbs and eats 3-4oz every 2-3 hours. Used to be more last week. We are a little distracted and would rather play than eat :P

My 17 lb takes 5-6 oz every 4-5 hours. I mostly BF, but I usually pump around 5 oz and he eats it all.

abbyhannah8 · October 2012

I'm guessing my LO is somewhere around 13lbs, we go to the doc today for her 4 month appointment. She eats 8oz when she wakes up, then two 6 oz bottles during the day (she eats about every 4 hours), then one 8oz bottle before bed and sleeps through the night (about 10-12 hours). So about 28oz a day, she is formula fed.

BR · October 2012

At 4 months, DD weighed 15 lbs. She drinks 5 oz every 3 1/2- 4 hours for a total of 25 oz. per day.

lskay00 · October 2012

At 4 months, my DS is 18lbs 2oz. He drinks 8 oz every 5-6 hrs. Started cereal this past weekend after talking to his dr. He then drinks 4-6 oz after cereal.

JessieCupcake · October 2012

The pedi told me once he consistently started finishing 4 oz to offer more. I would try and see what happens.

My DS was 17 lbs 10 oz at 3 months. We haven't had the 4 month appointment yet so not sure what he weighs now. He eats between 4-6 oz every 4 hours or so.

Just got back from her 4 month appt. She is 15 lb, 2 oz., which puts her at 7th percentile. DD had been drinking 6-8 (usually close to 8) oz 4 times a day, and the doctor said that was too much (8 oz). She said to give her 6 oz. at each feeding, and if DD indicates she is hungry, we can give her another bottle.

sam19 · October 2012

Usually 5 oz every 3 hours.

StarFlower110 · October 2012

My DD will be 4 months next week. She weighs 14 lbs and she eats about 4 oz every 3 hours. However she sleeps for 10-11 hours at night so she sometimes cluster feeds before bed
