How much does your 3 month old eat?

12 week old DS has really lost his appetite recently.

Good days he has around 850ml/29 oz- bad days no more than 600ml/21 oz.

He seems to be happy enough, eats every 2.5-3hours in the day but sometimes as little as 30ml/ 1oz.

His wee doesn't look dehydrated, but he's now only pooping every third day.

He's not eating anymore than when he was a newborn.

How much do your LO's eat? Is this normal?

They vary from time to time
They're due a growth spurt around that age and that can make them sleep more and eat less or vice versa.

As long as hes well in himself, I wouldnt be overly concerned. Have you got a healthy visitor to contact?

I would say that's pretty normal, my 2 month (9 week) old is having about 26oz/780ml a day, usually between 3 and 5oz for every feed. Yesterday he had his jabs and only had 18oz.
A baby will always let you know when they are hungry, please don't stress yourself out. But as @EAIOU has said, talk to your HV if worried.
