  • Hes goin thru a growth spirt. At first he wont eat at all then he'll eat like crazy every 1-2 hrs. Cant help u with the amount of formula cus i breastfed til recently (3 1/2 months).

    Sounds normal to me, my son is drinking 3-4 oz too every 2-3 hours.
  • My baby is four months old and he drinks 4oz every 4 hours but as per Dr's orders I add a teaspoon of rice cereal.
  • When i feed my son formula during the day (if we're out) he normally eats 4oz then is hungry again 3-4 hrs later. He is 2 months tomorrow, but has been eating 4oz formula for a while now. I'd say shortly after he turned 1 month he was up to 4oz if he wasn't before. Then before bed i normally feed him formula and i try to get 6oz in him but he'll usually take 5. Then he's up again 4-5 hrs later. So yeah I'd say normal.

    a growth spur! i forgot that happenes :/
    so he wont eat at all cause he's been refusing to eat all 4 oz he'll just dring 2 or 2.5 oz
    hes eating weird since yesterday
  • keep an eye on the wet diapers and if he still is acting funny i'd call the doc.
  • My baby is five weeks, she can drink 3oz n only at night bc she sleeps so well. She can go up to four hrs without eating n sometimes I wake her up to eat bc she sleeps way too long
  • A like @mam082711 said, as long as long as hes still making the same amount of wet diapers ur fine. I cant remember how often the growth spurts are, but im sure u could easily look it up...i know ive seen it somewhere. :/ well enjoy it now cus after this is wen its gunna start flyin! GL (*)
