For a 3-month-old baby, the typical formula feeding amount is about 24 to 32 ounces (710 to 950 ml) per day, divided into approximately six feedings. This means your baby will generally drink about 4 to 6 ounces (120 to 180 ml) of formula every four hours
. Another way to estimate is by weight: infants under 6 months usually consume 2 to 2.5 ounces of formula per pound of body weight per day. For example, a 10-pound baby might need 20 to 25 ounces daily, split into several feedings
. Feeding frequency is commonly around 4 to 6 times per day at this age, with each feeding ranging from 4 to 7 ounces depending on the baby's appetite and growth
. In summary:
- Total daily formula: 24–32 ounces (710–950 ml)
- Per feeding: 4–6 ounces (120–180 ml)
- Number of feedings: about 6 per day (every 3 to 4 hours)
Always follow your baby's hunger cues and consult your pediatrician if you have concerns about feeding amounts or growth
