Oz per feeding?

emja0214 · April 2013

When DD takes a bottle of my milk or formula she takes 6 oz. I have had o supplement for supply issues, but that is a whole other issue. Does 6 oz seem right for a 3 month old?

LO is taking 5oz. She is 3 months today.

I'm not an expert by any means but I don't think there's a hard and fast rule of oz per month. DS has eaten 12 oz of pumped milk in an hour an a half before! Other times he will "only" drink 5. Depends on the day. Usually he can eat a ton. I have friends

LO is 14weeks on Tues and she typically takes 6oz her first feeding and then 5oz at each after. She is BF.

I don't think my DD has taken more than 4 oz ever but with that said we dont give her bottles of pumped milk all that

Now that I am back to work DD takes 5 oz in her first bottle and 4 in her other bottles until I get off work and bf her. We just recently started regularly bottle feeding her so it is a bit of a guessing game for us.

My LO is FF and she drinks 5.5oz at a time. She just turned 4months but she's always been kinda on the small side at least percentile wise at the pedi so it depends on your LOs size and weight gain.

Like PPs have said, it really does vary depending on the baby. My son is almost 4 months and EFF. He normally takes 5 to 6 ounces every 3 to 4 hours during the day.

DS takes anywhere from 4-6 oz per feeding every 3-4 hours...during awake hours.

DS has 4 oz of BM every 3 hrs when I'm at work. I'm not sure if he'd eat a little bit more if offered, but I work my a off to pump that much, so since he's satisfied, I'm happy.

DD takes 6oz

DD has 4-5oz bottles, but I've never offered more than 5. She seems pretty content w it. Plus she spits up so much, I don't like to give her too much at once.
