How much/ how often does your FF 3mo eat?

Just that really. I've just switched from expressed BM to FF and having difficulty getting the routine down. DC1 didn't wean to 5m and it seemed easier then. At the minute he's tending to want only 2-3oz but every couple of hours. Also really fussy at times and will cry/ look hungry, take 0.5-1oz and then squirm and cry when I try and feed him any more. Even when he hasn't taken much and should be hungry. (It's definitely not just wind- I've tried that, sometimes helps but a lot of the time doesn't).
Im really hoping he has a cold coming on or something because this is really getting on my nerves!

My DS is ff but only ten weeks old so a little bit younger. He eats between 20 and 25 ounces a day generally. He was taking about 4oz at a time but in the last week has started doing what yours is doing and 'snacking' on 1oz or 2oz quite frequently but stopping and seeming quite unsettled. It can take two hours to get 4oz into him now so it feels like I'm constantly feeding him. No idea what's going on. My other DS was ff too and I don't remember him doing this!

Hmmm, yea that sounds very similar. Glad I'm not the only one!
