Every baby is different! If your grandson is sleeping through the night, he may eat more often during the day! If he is still waking at night, it's time to add rice cereal to his diet, especially if he's a big baby. 6oz's is not a lot of milk for a three-month old, but if he's a hungry little guy, rather than increase his milk intake - try the cereal solution!

From Ladies Home Journal:
"By 3 to 4 months, most newborns can go a little longer between feedings -- usually about 3 or 4 hours. But if your baby is hungry ahead of time, don't let him get miserable. Remember, your sensitive response to your baby's cries intensifies the empathic connection between the two of you."

A baby should eat as often as he/she wants to. If you've determined that it's not a diaper change or gas, discomfort, etc. - then feed when they want to eat. I don't believe in denying little babies anything that makes them happy. Sometimes, all they want is to be held.
