Isnt she supposed to go longer in between feedings?

I always thought that as dd got older she would eat less frequently. At first she ate every 4 hours, and gradually the time between was less and now at 3 1/2 months sometimes she doesn't even get to three hours between feedings. I have tried to increase the amount of food in her bottle, but she rarely wants more then 5 ounces. Any advice?

I thought the same thing about going longer after you increase, but I have yet to see it. My son still eats anywhere between 2 1/2 to 4 hours. He is 5 weeks, and eats 5 oz (and doesnt want anymore).

my advice is feed her when she is hungry...Mikayla usually eats between 5.5-7 ounces every 2 1/2 - 3 hours....I feed her when she wants to be fed...even if it is 2 or 2 1/2 hours since her last feeding

My DD didn't start going longer between feedings til she started solid foods.

I always fed on demand, so when she's hungry she eats.
