Feeding Question

 You're not supposed to give babies water.. so no don't do that. Why don't you try put a TINY TINY amount of cereal in his bottle like in the morning just at first and see if that helps?

I was going to say just to increase the size of oz. you give him at a feeding by 1/2 an oz. Let him guide you with how much he wants to eat. Bigger intakes at feedings might keep him satisfied for longer amounts of time :)

i would feed him when he's hungry. babies do not need water at this age. if the dr told me not to feed him more than 24oz it would go in one ear and out the other. if a baby is hungry, feed him. drs are so stupid sometimes.

I agree with the above post. If the baby is hungry feed him. Unless there is a medical reason why he can't take more then give him what he needs to be satisfied. Babies will let you know when they are full.

 I never formula fed but I would not do water.

I didn't FF, so I really don't know how much my DS ate at that age, but I nursed him at least every 3 hours.  Feed him when he hungry.  If you're worried about it, try just giving him a little 2 oz bottle in between a feeding and see if that tides him over for a while.

Also, never give a baby under 6 month old any water.  Water can be very dangerous for an infant.  It affects their kidney function.  There have even been cases of babies dying who have been given too much water.

I still fed on demand at 3 months. Feed your baby what he needs. That's my advice anyway.

Thanks so much ladies and I never knew not to give water, the dr said I could in small amounts only 2oz..

you CAN give them water you just have to do it in small amounts. dont give them a whole bottles worth but you can give them an ounce or two

 If he is still hungry feed him. I would just increase at each feeding by 1/2oz-1oz. Babies know when they are hungry & if they arent they will stop eating. Was there a specific reason the doc said not to feed him over 24oz in a day?
