How much is everyone’s formula fed baby taking?

I think I have a hungry baby? She’s on 210ml every 2.5 -3 hours but sometimes goes longer. She’s never really finishes her bottles but I upped it because I was finding she’d want more just an hour later on 180ml We are getting longer stretches in the night now though and she only feeds once, if at all. Now she’s settle back down with just a nappy change and her dummy. But it still seems like maybe we’re on the hungrier side compared to some of my other mum friends. She’s 3 and a half months.

Our little just turned 3 month old has been on 210 for a couple of weeks, sometimes she finishes it all and sometimes not. She feeds generally every 3-5 hrs. And has just started waking for a night feed

It depends on the formula and how many calories it has per 100 ml. Some will be more caloric so baby will eat less, some will be less caloric so baby will eat more. Mine is on kendamil organic, she is on 15th percentile and eats about 100 ml every 2.5-3 hours totalling about 650 ml a day. She’s 11 weeks today.

Mine has 7oz every 2.5-3 hours and that’s on hungry baby milk too 🤣 I think some babies are just hungry, mine always has been and when on normal milk he just never stopped. He has started sleeping through the night now though x

My little girl just turned 3 months and I’ve just upped her to 5oz every 4 hours xx

My little one is 12 weeks and is offered 7 oz. She wakes at 6am for first bottle then every 3 hours after that. She had her last bottle at 9pm. She drinks anywhere from 4-7 oz every 3 hours

My little boy is 13 weeks today and has 210ml every 3 hours or so, we upped it last week as he was polishing off the 180ml bottles! ☺️

Have you moved her up to the next teat size? My little boy wasn’t finishing his bottles but we moved from size 1 teat to size 2 so faster flow and now he finishes his bottles again

Mine is a hungry baby. We combi feed and he’ll still have 180ml (occasionally 200ml) every 3-4 hours and get on the breast before or after from 10-20mins. He was born on the lighter side so I’m not sure if that plays a role. He can sleep for 5-6hr-long stretches at night and then after 2-3 hours for a snack on the breast. After that he can sleep again for a couple of hours and wake up starving. Each baby is different; as long as baby is happy with your giving her I wouldn’t worry too much.
