### Formula Intake Guidelines
1. **Amount per Feed**:
- **Typical Range**: A 3-month-old baby usually consumes about 120-150 ml (4-5 ounces) of formula per feed.
- **Frequency**: Feedings are typically every 3-4 hours.
2. **Total Daily Intake**:
- **Typical Range**: The total daily intake is generally around 720-960 ml (24-32 ounces) of formula per day.
- **Growth Spurts**: Be prepared for variations during growth spurts, where the baby might need slightly more.
### Feeding Cues
- **Hunger Signs**: Look for signs of hunger like sucking on hands, rooting, or increased fussiness.
- **Satiety Signs**: The baby will naturally stop feeding when full, so follow their cues.
### Formula Preparation
- **Mixing**: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for mixing the formula to ensure proper nutrition and avoid over- or under-dilution.
- **Cleanliness**: Ensure bottles and nipples are properly sterilized to prevent infections.
### Consulting Your Pediatrician
- **Personalized Advice**: For specific guidance tailored to your baby’s needs, especially if you have concerns about growth or feeding patterns, consult your pediatrician.
Feeding should be adjusted based on your baby’s needs and appetite, and it’s important to ensure they are growing and developing well.
