POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. For a 3-month-old baby who is primarily formula-fed, the amount of formula and feeding frequency can vary slightly from baby to baby. Here are some general guidelines:
### Formula Feeding Guidelines for a 3-Month-Old Baby
1. **Feeding Amount**:
- On average, a 3-month-old baby may consume about 4-6 ounces (120-180 ml) of formula per feeding.
- Some babies may take more or less than this amount, so it's important to follow your baby's hunger cues.
2. **Feeding Frequency**:
- Babies at this age typically feed every 3-4 hours during the day, which equates to about 5-6 feedings in 24 hours.
- Some babies may cluster feed (take shorter, more frequent feedings) during certain times of the day.
3. **Night Feedings**:
- Many babies still wake up for one or two feedings during the night. This is normal and helps meet their nutritional needs.
### Example Feeding Schedule
- **6:00 AM**: 4-6 ounces (120-180 ml) of formula
- **9:00 AM**: 4-6 ounces (120-180 ml) of formula
- **12:00 PM**: 4-6 ounces (120-180 ml) of formula
- **3:00 PM**: 4-6 ounces (120-180 ml) of formula
- **6:00 PM**: 4-6 ounces (120-180 ml) of formula
- **9:00 PM**: 4-6 ounces (120-180 ml) of formula
- **Middle of the Night (if necessary)**: 4-6 ounces (120-180 ml) of formula
### Feeding Tips
- **Burping**: Remember to burp your baby frequently during feedings, especially if your baby tends to be gassy or spit up.
- **Responsive Feeding**: Feed your baby when they show signs of hunger, such as rooting, sucking on fists, or fussiness.
- **Hold and Comfort**: Hold your baby upright after feedings to help with digestion and reduce spit-up.
### Monitoring Your Baby's Growth
- **Weight Gain**: Your baby should be gaining weight steadily and having regular wet diapers (at least 6-8 wet diapers a day).
- **Health Check-ups**: Regularly visit your pediatrician for check-ups to monitor your baby's growth and development.
Always consult with your pediatrician if you have specific concerns about your baby's feeding schedule or if your baby is not gaining weight appropriately. They can provide personalized guidance based on your baby's individual needs and growth patterns.
