Is my baby over eating?

Question

My little man is 3 months old he was born 6 weeks early at 34 weeks he eats 4 oz bottles every 3 hours at each feeding but  the last 3 days he has been wanting to eat every 2 hours is this okay or is he over eating. He has caught up in weight he is over 12lbs now.

Answer

Sounds like he might be going through a growth spurt, totally normal.

Answer

My son is turning 3 months old on the 4th and he eats 5 sometimes 6 oz bottles every 3 hours but sleeps through the night until 7or 8am!

Answer

My pediatrician says feed them half their weight is OZ, your baby wants to eat 6oz now

Answer

My boy is 3 months old. He had 7oz and drains them every 3 hours. He has started sleeping at night from about 11 till 7am but will wake sometimes for a snack. Was 13.3oz at weigh in 3 weeks ago 🙈 he was 7.1 at birth 2 weeks early

Answer

My son did the same. By 8 weeks he was up to 8ozs every two hours. My 9 week old is 12lbs just starting to take 3ozs every 2-3 hours their all different. My son was a big boy at 8 weeks he was 14  pounds. My IUGR girl was my only tiny one. My 9 week old is exactly half the weight of my 16 month old.

Answer

My son turned 2 months old yesterday and is eating between 4 and 6 oz bottles. He's already 13lbs 10oz! I worry that he's over eating also, but my husband keeps trying to make him eat bigger bottles so he'll go longer between feedings. But he rarely goes more than 3 hours between bottles during the day...

Answer

He's fine, sounds a lot like my guy. My pediatrician says I can't possibly over-feed him since he was a smaller baby and to feed him when he's hungry which now is about 5 ounces every 2-3 hours (except at night). He was born 3 weeks early and was 6lb2oz. Turned 3 months Friday and is now 13.6. Sounds like you're going through a growth spurt.

Answer

My little guy is two months old and over thirteen pounds

Answer

My son eats 6 oz every 3-4 hrs but sleeps preety much all night for the most part. Maybe waking up once. He will be 3 months on the 6th and he's 13lbs.

Answer

My baby girl is 10w and there's some days where she's eating 6oz every 3 hours during the day!! She sleeps all night so I think we'll she's making up for it lol
