Mine is 5-5.5 ounces every 3 hours. But every baby is different!

My daughter drinks 3oz 2 to 3 times a night and during the day 4 to 6oz every 2 to 3 hours. Occasionally, she'll wake every 2 hours at night and drink 3oz and just do cat naps during the day, and when she has these cat naps, she drinks more frequently.

My 4 month old is 2.5-3.5 every 2 hours. Her doctor said it's fine. Some baby are snackers. She might never increase past every 2 hours for some time. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Sadly I feel you on this momma is tired. She also wakes up every 2 hours at night. Nothing works to extend it. Not cereal in the bottle not eating before bed with a bottle. It will happen one day tho🤞🏽

My 5 1/2 month drinks between 5-7 ounces per feed every 3 /3.5 hrs but some days much less Every baby is different don’t worry

Mine is 5-6oz every 3 hours. She sleeps 7-9 hours at night. I give her a 4oz dream feed between 11 & midnight. She’ll wake up between 7-9am.

Mines taking 4-6 oz every feed

Girl it can be anywhere from 2.5 to 5 oz. My 4 1/2 mo baby is chaotic lol!

Same here she’s creeping up to 5 now every three hours and this mama tired too😣

Around 5oz every 2 hours. I try to feed him as much as I could during the day so he can sleep at night. Mine was also getting up every 2-3 hours at night. What helped was feeding him sufficiently during the day and trying to extend his sleep window with a pacifier during that 2-5 window. Everyday I would take the 15-20 min extensions as a win. Essentially you’re training them to get used not feeding/ not feel the hunger because I think it’s also a habit. Now he feeds around 7 before bed, dream feed at midnight and in most cases he wakes up at 6 (sometimes right on the dot haha).

My peds said my 5 month old should be drinking anywhere between 4-6 oz every 3-4 hours if you feel the need idk if ur comfortable but rice cereal in the bottle before bed is what I do and I get a gooooood couple hours of sleep
