3 month old taking 56oz in 24 hours - normal?
in Baby
Hi ladies.
Have posted before about how much my lo drinking and that he is waking 2 or 3 times a night for feeding (have tried other possibilities it defo hungry. It was common thinking that it was a growth spurt - which I thought perfectly plausible but have been totting it up and LO is taking 7oz (and drinking half of these dry)8 times in 24 hours. I read lo should be drinking 2.5 x his weight - that would be 35 oz!!!
Is this normal? Even for a growth spurt?? Any suggestions?

Sorry I'm not much help. X
I did reduce the bottle size by an 1oz throughout the day (left bedtime one and morning once as 7/8oz) and to be honest I don't think lo noticed and this did reduce her intake a little bit so she might have just been a greedy monkey lol.
He has 35oz of hungry baby. It does seem alot but just check he isnt jumping centille coz my boy was on 75th prem chart and then 98th prem chart.
But 75th normal chart.

care-bear and apple pie - I did try reducing the bottle sizes as I wondered if he was drinking it cos it was there - but he screamed for more afterwards. I had had to put him up to 7oz because he was draining the 6oz and still looking for more. I also made sure that he was definitely hungry by trying other things first to distract him and it was the only thing that stops him crying.
Fingers crossed this calms him down a bit and leaves him a bit more satisfied!
