A 2-month-old baby typically eats about 3 to 4 ounces per feeding, with roughly 8 to 12 feedings in a 24-hour period if breastfeeding or formula- feeding. This means the total intake usually ranges from approximately 24 to 48 ounces per day. For formula-fed babies, it's common to have about 4 to 5 ounces every 3 to 4 hours, totaling around 20 to 30 ounces in 24 hours. Breastfed babies may feed more frequently but usually take in around 3 to 4 ounces in a bottle. The key indicators that a baby is eating enough are weight gain and the number of wet or dirty diapers. Feeding should be on demand, responding to the baby's hunger cues.
