How much is your little one eating?

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

4-6 every 4hrs max. 6 oz after she wakes up in am after sleeping through the night then it’s 4 & 2 oz alternating throughout the day
my baby just turned 4 months and has been drinking 5 ounces since he was 2 months old and still drinks every 2 1/2 to 3 hours
3 1/2 oz every 2-3 hours, everyone telling me if I give her 4 oz she won’t eat for 4 hours but feed anytime she’s hungry. I think that’s for the best.
Same here, 4pz every 2.5 to 3hrs and sometimes he will have a 2oz snack in between.
@Chelsea he’s probably just making up for it during the day 😊 my baby is the same he could easily sleep 12 hours lol
Mine is 4 months and eating a total of 26-28 a day- ( we have her in swimming and those days she is ravenous and wants more) 13.5 lbs sleeps from 7-7. Every baby is different
@Ahri you can safely add an extra hour to how much they can sleep once they pass 6 weeks- so for example 6 weeks +1 for 7 hours 7+1 for 8 and so forth… my baby started doing this at 6 weeks and at 10 weeks started going solid 10-11 hours through the night with no wake ups and has since- just sharing this so you have hope!
@Chelsea that’s good though- goal is all calories in during the day so they don’t wake hungry at night- and yes pay attention to wake windows ats they age
@Tiani have you tried upping his amounts? He might give you longer nights if he is getting more calories in..
@Sarah yes this is the goal.. if you follow taking Cara babies this is a big factor in your baby sleeping through the night
Hes such a cute baby 🥰

My son was born 12/30 and he takes 5 oz every 3-4hrs. At night he takes his last bottle around 9pm and then doesn’t get up until about 4/5. He’s 11lb. He was born at 33 weeks so I would say your son is doing great!
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
