3 month old - increase to 4 hours between feeds?

For my 3 month old son (who is mostly bottle fed now), should I start increasing the time between daytime feeds to 4 hours rather than 3 hours? And increasing the amount at each feed?

Be guided by him. You don't have to get them to 4 hours between feeds. How much is he taking in each bottle? At that age DS was still sometimes going 2 hours between bottles (but was only waking once at night), but mostly 3-4 hours. We were doing 6-7 bottles a day of 210ml. He'd finish most of them.

If he is regularly polishing off his bottles, add an extra 30ml/1 oz. see then if that adjusts his frequency of feeds.
