Introduction
A 3-month-old baby usually feeds every three hours at night. As the digestive system gradually develops, the amount of milk consumed increases, and feeding frequency may also increase. Most babies get hungry about every three hours and need to feed to maintain the nutrients required by their bodies. However, some babies have weaker digestion, resulting in a longer digestion time for formula or breast milk, so their feeding intervals may be longer than four hours.
Three-month-old babies usually feed about every three hours at night, although this may vary from baby to baby. The details are as follows:
As the digestive system gradually develops, three-month-old babies tend to consume more milk and feed more frequently. Most babies feel hungry and require feeding approximately every three hours to replenish energy, maintain necessary nutrition, and support growth and development. However, some babies have weaker digestion, causing milk to remain in the stomach longer and requiring extended digestion time; these babies may feed less frequently, with intervals longer than four hours.
In daily care, feeding should follow the baby's needs. Always monitor their eating habits and physical condition, and seek medical advice promptly if any abnormalities occur.
