Is it normal?
Is it normal for my 3 month old to one day eat so much and the next barely want to? For example my three month old ate 6 ounces EVERY single feed 3-4 hours in between and 8 ounces for her last feed before bed yesterday, But today she’ll eat only around 3-4 ounces every 3-4 hours and only wanted 2 ounces as her night time feed, her normal daily intake is 5 ounces every 3-4 hours

We were told that our baby needs 28-32oz per 24 hour period, and some babies need 24-32oz, so if she’s getting at least 24oz and your pediatrician & lactation consultant aren’t concerned, then you’re good! Since I’m ebf, I make sure he’s getting 8-10 feeds in, but I also assess his sleep, disposition, & diaper output to gauge how he’s doing.
Could be a growth spurt. My son eats 6 oz every 4 hrs but usually has 1 bottle during the day where he only eats 5 so he eats again in 3 hrs and then his bed time bottle was 6 until he decided he wanted 8
