formula amount for 3 month old

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
Hi, I was just wondering how much other 3 month old babies are taking per feeding/day of formula.  My boys are 13 lbs and I try to give them 30-32 oz per day.  They recently started sleeping through the night and it seems harder to get that amount in them with less hours to work with.  I've been giving them 5 and 6 oz bottles, but I guess it's time to increase that.  7 or 8 oz just seemed like too much per feeding but they eat every 3-3.5 hours.  What does your baby do?

    My 3.5 month, ~14 pound boy eats six 5 oz bottles in a day.  Occasionally after finishing a 5 oz. bottle he'll take another oz. or two.

    I would say stick with 6 oz bottles and see how much they have per day. If you do 5 bottles that would be 30oz so even if they leave an ounce sometimes they would get at least 24oz which is what they need. I'm just so jealous your LO's are sleeping throug

    My daughter will drink between 25 to 30 ounces per day. She has a bottle every four hours and will have four or five bottles depending on if she sleeps through the night or not. It is still really hit or miss.

    My son has been eating 5 (6-6.5 oz) bottles per day. He averages 31oz per day. We feed him every 3 hours during the day. He will go longer if he's napping. His last bottle is at 6:30-7pm and then he goes to bed. He STTN as well.
