Is it normal that my baby only eats 3-4 oz still?

Question

She's 4 months next week and still only has 3-4 oz at a time, every 2 to 3 hours. SOMETIMES more. Exclusively formula fed

she's been drinking 4 oz for three months now... I thought she would've started drinking more by now?? Is this normal?? I don't want to underfeed her. My friends baby the same age drinks 8 oz at a time 😳😳

Answer

8 oz for a four month old is over feeding. My baby is four months old tomorrow and she only eats 4-5oz. She's little structured. I think as along as your baby still has a good amount of wet diapers and at least one poopy diaper a day they're doing just fine

Answer

My baby is almost 4 months and eats 3.5oz every 2 hours. She's ebf, but when hubby gives her a bottle she's satisfied after 3-3.5oz.

Answer

Same. My daughter can't finish a 4oz bottle. Sometimes I feel like she's not eating enough. But her Dr said that it's ok.

Answer

Oh my lord...I wish my daughter ate that 😩 she eats 8oz/ hrs plus two 3-4oz fruit and veggies a day. And most of the time she's STILL gets hungry for an extra 4 oz sometime during the day.

Answer

My daughter is 15 weeks and was on 4oz every 2 hours during the daytime up until the end of last week where we've increased it to 5oz and she now goes every 2-3 hours. As long as your baby is gaining weight it's ok, that's what I was told

Answer

My son is 3 1/2 months old and is doing the same thing. Taking longer naps during the day and up every 1-2 hours at night.

Answer

My son is the same. He's still only having 3 or 4 oz every 3 hours. He's up constantly during the night. He just doesn't want to drink more bless him. He's bottle fed. He's putting on lots of weight though

Answer

That's how much we eat. A chart from daycare says it will increase soon

Answer

I was wondering the same thing! My LO only drinks 3.5 oz every 2-3 oz

Answer

Yes i think so, my LO eats about the same but more breastmilk than formula
