How much should a 3 month old be eating ?

Question

So, my three month old Baby boy , still wants to feed every 2-3 hours 😳...anyone else?? He’ll do a long stretch at bedtime for about 4-5 hours, but after that, he’s up every 2-3 hours ...
Also wondering, this doesn’t really apply to me Bc I’m breast feeding (can’t tell exactly how much baby is feeding), but if I were to pump, how much does a three month old

need per feeding..4 ounces? 5??

Answer

My LO will be 3 months on Thursday and still eats every 3 to 3 1/2 hours.  And recently because of the 3 month growth spurt it's every hour to 2 hours. When we do feed her from a bottle she eats about 4-5oz. If she takes too bottles okay, feed her from it and see how much she eats.

Answer

Totally normal for EBF bubs as they help increase your supply needed for them at each growth stage :) my bub is feeding roughly every 2 hour and more frequently when going through a leap. When he does take a bottle (pumped bf) it can really vary from 140mls - 180mls.

Answer

Sounds totally normal 
This is my third and she as well as her big sisters ate every 1-3 hours. All exclusively breast fed

Answer

Mine us in the same schedule as yours. Sometimes even more frequently. I give him a bottle of pumped milk every few days and use 4 oz

Answer

we give her 3-4 oz. She will take more but then she ends up throwing up because she's too full so we give her 3 and burp her then give her the 4th one and burp her and she still wants more but we keep her elevated for 15 min and then she is fine. I pump and bottle feed since breastfeeding to me was exhausting because she was always latched on and seemed to be always hungry atleast now she Eats every 3 - 4 hours and I know how much she is taking

Answer

My boy is 11 weeks old and still feed every 2-3 hours he will also only have one long sleep from 9pm till 1/2am then up every 3 hours after sometimes during the day he will just go an hour inbetween feeds and when he has a bottle we put 5 and a half ozs in it and he will take most of it just leaving the half oz but I always like to offer more incase he wants it
