How much is your little one eating?

My son was born on 12/27, so he just turned 3 months. He’s eating 5 oz and he’s still wanting to eat every 2.5-3 hours. He’s such a chunk these days he’s gotta be at least 16lbs. How much and how often ar your 3 month olds eating?!

4oz every 3 hours give or take. Same age babe. Have had one that ate 3oz every 2 hours, 6oz every 4-5 hours, and 2 oz every 2-3 hrs so it just depends on babies

My son is eating 3.5-4 every 3-4 hours. We’ve always used the one oz per hour method because he had really bad reflux. He’ll be 4 months on the 16th and he’s probably around 12lbs now

Nursing every 2.5 hours during the day and every 3 hours during the night with only one stretch to 4 hours

My little girl was born on 12/27 as well. She eats every 2.5 hrs

My daughter was born 12/28!! In the morning she eats every 3 hours but overnight because she sleeps 6-8 hours straight I usually wait until she gives me the sign that she’s hungry so that’s like 4 hours

He’s sleeping 8-10 hours overnight but during the day it’s like he barley makes it sometimes to 2.5 hours and he’s screaming to eat. He also only wanting to stay awake for about 1.5 hours and napping about 40-60 minutes  he’s like clockwork

Yes! Same, I EBF so not exactly sure how much she gets but, every 2-3.5 hrs is when she nurses. She’s nursing less at nights though so it’s nice she’s sleeping for longer stretches. My girl is almost 15lbs

They’re growing so much at this age too! Some days my girl wants nothing but to nap and nurse.

@Jessica yes! I swear he’s grown longer just in the last week it seems

My little man was born on 12/30! He is currently 13lbs and drinks 5 (sometimes 5.5) every 3 hours. He sleeps through the night now anywhere from 4.5 to 7 hours. He is such a chunkster!!

My son is currently 4 months but at 3 months he was eating about the same! 4-6 oz every 2-3 hours. He still eats every 2-3 hours but it’s 5-7 oz now. Does your little one sleep through the night? I think my baby eats so often throughout the day because he doesn’t wake up at all at night

@Sarah He does. He’s been sleeping through the night for the last 3 weeks, anywhere from 8-10 hrs and sometimes I have to wake him up in the mornings or I think he’d tried to sleep for 12 hrs!

Mine eats about 6.5 ounces every 3 hours. He also usually sleeps through the night, but will occasionally wake for another 4-6.5 ounces in the middle of the night

@Chelsea 12 hours is perfectly normal, just don’t let him go longer than 12 hours

Aww we have the same birthday 🎂 — my daughter is 3 months drinks 4oz every 2-3 hours
