Our daycare generally feeds every 3 hours, so that's what we did with Xander. He drank anywhere from 3.5 oz to 4.5 oz, so we sent three 5oz bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-doesdid-your-3-month-drink#post-1146008 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 17:07:18 +0000 winniebee 1146008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: my son drank on the lower end of average until he was around 6 months or so. I remember there were 20 oz days (he was bottle fed pumped milk). Around 6 months he started doing more like 25 oz a day and as he approached a year was doing closer to 30 oz and solids.</p> <p>At 3 months he did around 3.5/4 oz every 3 hours during the day with one night waking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-doesdid-your-3-month-drink#post-1145998 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 16:59:22 +0000 Ra 1145998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B eats 4 oz bottles. He's a porker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-doesdid-your-3-month-drink#post-1145369 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 11:41:52 +0000 Anagram 1145369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: my LO has been drinking less the last few weeks too--- not sure why ! I keep having periodic freak outs about it and taking her for weight checks but so far she's been fine for weight so I'm starting to wonder if I have really fatty BM? Who knows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-doesdid-your-3-month-drink#post-1145363 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 11:39:11 +0000 Anagram 1145363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I exclusively pump and my LO averages only 20 or so oz a day, which the Ped says is low, but she refuses to drink<br /> More and is still gaining and around 40% for weight so I try not to worry too much. I always give her 4 oz bottles but she usually only drinks 2-3 oz. </p> <p>Maybe send 4 oz bottles and an extra frozen bag, just in case? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-doesdid-your-3-month-drink#post-1145351 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 11:33:59 +0000 kodybear 1145351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>she drank about 5oz every 3-3.5 hours, 5 times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-doesdid-your-3-month-drink#post-1145196 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:26:58 +0000 deerylou 1145196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: If she's self regulating, she's likely just fine! As long as she's gaining, the amount she's consuming sounds about right for a FF baby. I actually think my LO is kind of a pig, but she's also on the smaller side, so whatever floats her milky boat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-doesdid-your-3-month-drink#post-1145188 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:23:04 +0000 Cherrybee 1145188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: We make her 180ml (6oz) bottles because she used to take 140 or 150ml at each feeding but for the last couple of weeks she has stopped at 80 or 100ml every time, pushing the bottle out with her tongue and refusing to take any more. </p> <p>@Foodnerd81: Ahh, of course - breastmilk. I'd forgotten that even existed! I've no idea if the amounts are different! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-doesdid-your-3-month-drink#post-1145184 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:22:00 +0000 Bookish 1145184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I send three 3.5oz bottles of BM, and one 4oz bottle of formula. She almost never drinks all of it, it's usually closer to 11-12oz rather than the 14.5oz I send. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-doesdid-your-3-month-drink#post-1145173 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:19:02 +0000 deerylou 1145173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Does E seem full after her feedings? My LO was still bobbing her head around and fussing after her bottles, so we upped the amount we were offering a few weeks ago, and she's far more content after feeds, and usually goes down for a nap.</p> <p>DD goes down around 8, but wakes for her last feed around 10 or 11. She then sleeps until morning, so maybe 7-8 hours before her next bottle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-doesdid-your-3-month-drink#post-1145171 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:19:00 +0000 Foodnerd81 1145171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: aren't the amounts different for breastmilk and formula? </p> <p>Kellymom says babies that age take an average of 25 oz per day, so divide that by the number of feedings in a day for the amount per feeding. We give C 3 oz bottles usually but she doesn't take them very often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-doesdid-your-3-month-drink#post-1145165 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:15:35 +0000 Revel 1145165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO takes 11 oz for nine hour separation. We do either four 2.75oz bottles or three with 3.5+ oz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-doesdid-your-3-month-drink#post-1145163 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:14:34 +0000 Cherrybee 1145163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really glad you asked this because I'm worried that DD isn't eating enough! </p> <p>She takes 80-100ml (around 3oz) every three hours during the day (sometimes a little longer) and then goes a good 6-8 hours, then 4 hours between feeds at night. That's 6 feeds per day @ 3oz. Does this sound low to anyone? </p> <p>@deerylou: How many feeds does she have at night? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-doesdid-your-3-month-drink#post-1145158 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:12:41 +0000 Smurfette 1145158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sent 4ozs bottles to day care at that age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-doesdid-your-3-month-drink#post-1145152 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:11:04 +0000 deerylou 1145152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Approximately 4 ounces, every 3 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-doesdid-your-3-month-drink#post-1145131 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:06:34 +0000 Alivoo01 1145131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is breast fed but starts daycare on Monday and I don't know how many ounces to send with him. How many ounces per feeding does/did your 3 month old take? </p>
