: hi, im a new mom to a little boy named nicholas, he'llbe 3 weeks on wed. the doctors have him on similac with iron and he eats about every 3 hours, but how much should he be drinking and how much weight should he have gained? thank u krissy 2 to 2 1/2 oz of formula per pound is a good guidline to start. Don't forget that is JUST a guidline,some take more, and some take less. Gaining weight and wet bums are a better gage of how well your baby is eating. Weight gain should be about 1 oz per day. My son gained 6 1/2 lbs by his 3 month checkin. Good luck.
