Formula fed
How much are your babies drinking at around 3 months old? My little one is almost 3 months and is having at least 7 MAM bottles in a 24-hour period, each containing 150ml of Kendamil formula. He’s finishing nearly every bottle and often seems like he could take more afterwards
Does this sound normal for his age, or has anyone else found their baby needed larger feeds around this stage?
I’m almost having to move up to the bigger bottles!

Our little boy is 4 weeks old and is taking 7 MAM bottles between 120mls and 160mls. Although today his bottles have been 80mls however every baby is different so I would go his cues but if you’re unsure I would speak to your health visitor x
I think there’s general guidance out there but we tend to try and go by our baby’s cues instead. He’s 7 weeks old and on 5oz bottles, every 3-4 hours or so- he’s a chunky monkey that’s for sure!😂 the guidance says at this stage he should really be drinking around 4oz still🤦🏼♀️ I read that it’s always best to have some left over in the bottle, so if they’re drinking it all and still seem hungry after, it’s probably time to offer them a bit more. We offer one 6oz bottle before bed and he tends to drink anywhere between 4.5 and 5.5 ounces. Sometimes it’s frustrating to waste formula but there have been a couple of times he’s finished the whole 6oz bottle before bed
My little boy is 8 weeks and drinking 150ml 7 times a day of kendamil aswell (he doesn't always finish the bottle)
My health visitor said to move him up when he drains every bottle and seems immediately hungry again
