POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. For a 3-month-old baby, the amount of formula milk to be given can vary depending on the baby's appetite and growth. On average, a baby at this age typically consumes about 4 to 6 ounces (120 to 180 ml) of formula per feeding, about 4 to 6 times a day. This totals approximately 24 to 32 ounces (720 to 960 ml) of formula per day.
Guidelines to follow:
1. Frequency of Feedings: At 3 months, babies often feed every 3 to 4 hours. However, this can vary based on the baby’s individual needs.
2. Watch for Hunger Cues: If your baby seems hungry or finishes the bottle quickly and is still seeking more, you can gradually increase the amount of formula per feeding.
3. Don’t Force Feed: If your baby is not finishing the bottle, it’s okay to offer smaller amounts, as every baby has different feeding patterns.
4. Adjust Based on Baby's Growth: Consult your pediatrician if you have concerns about your baby’s feeding habits, growth, or if the baby seems underweight or overfed.
It's important to feed according to the baby’s needs and not strictly by the clock. If you have any concerns, it's always best to check with your pediatrician.
