my three month old daughter is drinking 2 to 4 ounces of formula every three to four hours and at night she sleeps the whole night is that okay or should she be having more?

no she is fine. when she's hungry she will eat and you will know when she is hungry. some formula's are thicker than others and that is probably why she isnt eating alot, because the formula is thicker and more filling to her. and thats ok. just wait till she gets a little bigger, you wont be able to feed her enough!

That is fine as long as she is not crying and she is gaining weight. You might want to ask her pediatrician about this. MY daughter drinks 4 to 5 ounces every 3 hours. She nurses every 2 hours when I am home. She sleeps throught the night. My daughter last feeding is at 9 pm her morning feeding is at about 6-7 am.

My son is 3 months he eats 6-8 ozs every 4 hours and sleeps through the night usually so for me that doesn't sound normal at all. But I would ask the doctor. Also you just had a 2 month visit so if the weight was normal and the dr didnt comment I guess it would be fine.

She would favor general burping.... gently pat her back after a minute or 2 of feeding and anticipate a burp. from time to time in simple terms rubbing the back will do truly of burping. She would really have an hypersensitive reaction to the formula you're giving her. perchance you latterly switched? you would favor to attempt a soy -- yet do not do something without first consulting your wellbeing care professional. S/he will have the finest solutions for you. keep in mind, all little ones are diverse and medical doctors assume mom's to have questions. continually ask. There will be extra signals that we are ignorant of. when you're concerned and there is someone you could call on for help, accomplish that. this may ease your concepts, and your calm nature enables soothe the toddler. it will all exercising consultation -- it takes time to get to carry close your toddler, and what kinds of meals she will eat. we are all new and extremely frightened in the start being a sparkling mom, it takes time and persistence... you'd be giving advice like this sometime too very quickly! best desires!! and also you're an truly being concerned mom.. because you're asking inquiries to help your toddler -- best for you!

she will only drink what she needs. don't worry if she needs something she will let you know... My oldest son did that my youngest son would not stop after 3 weeks of 8 ounce after 8 ounce every hour on the hour I gave him that baby rice stuff in with the milk....good luck you are doing just fine!!!

She should be fine. I agree with the other posts that as long as she is gaining weight properly, I wouldn't worry about it. Pretty soon though she will probably be going through a growth spurt so just keep an eye out for that.

sounds good. try to give her more often every two hours or so. as long as she eats and gains weight you are fine. Talk to her Doctor at your next check up.

You are lucky!! She is already sleeping through the night! That means that she does not need more food.

Sounds pretty normal to me. If your baby is continuing to gain weight, I wouldn't be concerned. She'll let you know when she's hungry.

Sounds pretty normal to me.There appetites increase and decrease a lot.If she is still gaining weight I don't think you have anything to worry about.But you should talk to her pediatrician to be sure.
