Moms of FF 3-4 month old babies...
How much formula are your DCs drinking everyday? And how often do you feed? I went back to work, and I am so confused about her feeding schedule. My sister feeds her about 6 oz. every 3 hours. I think that is very frequent. She usually gets about 7 hours at night with no feeding. Can you fill me in on your feeding schedules? Thanks!

Re: Moms of FF 3-4 month old babies...
i don't think that's a lot... is she gaining weight too fast?
we supplemented with DS, so he was getting 6 oz. of either BM of formula every 3 hours and was sleeping around 8-10 hours a night at that age.

DS is just 3 months. We feed him 4-5 oz. every 2-3 hours. He normally has been sleeping from 9PM-6AM but I just started him in the crib this past weekend and he's been waking up every morning at 3AM screaming to be fed.

Same schedule as you, sometimes when we're out she'll go a little longer, I also give her like 7.5 ounces before bed and she goes from 8-730ish at night
ETA: She's a big baby in general, and the ped isn't concerned at all!

DD is a week short of 4 months and eats 6 oz every 3 hrs. She started daycare yesterday and is now drinking 6oz every 2 hrs.
We put her to bed btwn 730 - 8pm and she wakes up 1x a night (usually around 2 or 3) for a feeding. The past 3 nights she's been waking up 2x during the night. Honestly, I think she's ready for solids.

My 4 month DS takes 7 oz every four hours. He gets his last bottle at 7 pm and usually sleeps until 6:30 am. It doesn't sound like her DC is eating too much.
Why are you concerned, is she gaining too much weight?

MY DS is almost 4 months old. He sleeps from about 10:30pm to 6:30am. Then he eats 5-6 ounces every 3-4 hours. He also gets a few ounces of water every day. He likes water & sometimes refuses his formula because he more thirsty than hungry & just wants some water.

Re: Moms of FF 3-4 month old babies...
My DD is 4 mths old and still eats every 3 hours or so.
I think what she is eating is just what my DD ate at that age.
Right now at 4+ mths, DD is eating 8oz every 3-4 hrs with a total of about 32-34 oz a day. She is a large baby also, always has been.
