3 month old eating too much?

my baby is 3 months old right now and is eating about 4-6 oz every 3-4 hours. 6oz is starting to be the favorite as days go by. i'm just wondering if that's too much for a 3 month old!? i feel like it is but she just seems hungry after 4 oz so i have to give her more!

i have a 8 week old eating between 6-8oz every 3-4 hrs, so i say she is getting what she needs, i am a big feed on demand and watch the cues. she will stop eating when she is full! :)

Yea. Our 6 week old twins are eating between 4 - 6 ozs every feeding. I find that growth spurts make them eat a lot.  Other times it varies between 4 - 6 or 3 to 3 ozs.  As long as your LO isn't puking up milk it should be ok.  Sometimes I think they just like that really full feeling so that they can drift off to sleep.

As long as she seems hungry and doesn't spit up a ton I think it's totally fine. DD is 5 days old and already sometimes taking 4oz at feedings. I have always fed my kids until they seem satisfied. All my kids have been 8-10lbs at birth and have been good eaters... They all moved up to 8pz feedings much earlier than most, but also have sttn much earlier on.
