How much should a 3 month old eat?

Question

My daughter is just over 3 months and for several weeks now she has been eating 6oz at a time, and just now finished 8 (with a short break after the first 4) so I Googled to see if 8 was normal for a 3 month old and I read that 4-5 is normal. Is she eating too much? She always cries for more after the first 4 ounces

Answer

You can't overfeed a baby. It's called responsive feeding, give her what she wants. She only has a little tiny tummy and uses lots of energy so it needs replenishing often

Answer

She coud be gowing through a growth spurt and be cluster feeding. Track how much she is eating. How many hours apart is she eating?
Normally it's 2.5 oz per pound of weight, if she is cluster feeding it is normal to go over the amount suggested. You can always offer a pacifier first, if after you track for a day or two and the amount she is eating is significant.
