36-40oz with rice cereal he's always been a huge eater though. As long as she's gaining wait she's good but talk to the pediatrician if you're concerned

Mine is 3 1/2 months and she does about 25-30oz in a day give or take. I do formula lately so it's 5oz of water plus the powder makes it around 6 oz or in between 5 and 6 and then she eats about 4-5x a day

Sometimes more if she's up longer than usually in between naps I'll need to give her an extra oz or two to settle her for a nap

My LO is 4 months and takes about the same amount. I was concerned she wasn’t eating enough also. But we just had her 4 month visit and the doctor gave us a great report. She’s still gaining and healthy.

I should add i exclusively pump so it's breast milk with cereal

My lo is nearly 4.5 months old now and typically drinks 25-30oz a day .. granted he throws up a lot throughout the day (reflux issues on full blast here).. I truly don’t think every baby will take the same amount. As long as baby is happy and growing go with it. I was once told I was ‘over feeding’ my baby and that really bothered me. To the point where I cut back his feeds and ended up having a very angry baby 😂 Trust your gut. You know your child’s needs and cues best!!

My baby was at 20oz so we saw a feeding therapist and got it up to about 25oz. Still a little worried but the last pediatrician visit she was gaining at a better pace so I’m trying not to worry too much.

My girl is 3 1/2 months. She is nursed and formula fed. She is currently drinking about 24oz if my calculations are correct.

I was so worried about this too! My baby was taking about 25oz Shes 4 mo and 1 week now and is finally up to about 30oz I feels like just this past week she started taking more At our 4mo appt the pediatrician was not concerned.

I always follow cues and try my best not to force her to eat

If your baby is breast fed they say an ounce an hour until they’re around 6 months! So 24 oz a day is completely normal. I freaked out too. My first was formula fed and this little guy is ebf. He takes bottles twice a week while I’m at work and drinks 3-3.5 oz every 3 hours. As long as they’re growing and having appropriate diapers you’re good mama!
