Dd is 3 months old and eats only 3 ounces (and sometimes less) every 3 hours. She's exclusively breastfed, but since I'm working and pumping, I know how many ounces she gets per feeding. She seems satisfied after feedings, and is gaining at a steady pace (although she's still pretty small for her age) so I'm not soooo worried. I'm just wondering; Should she be eating more?

Don't look at the bottle or thenumbers first .....
I would look at your baby. Is she alert when appropriate? Is she content? Is the dr. ok with her growth? If the answers are all "yes", then I think you have a satiated little baby.

No, that's perfectly fine. I cringe when I see babies at that age downing 5 5 ounce bottles in 8 hours. 3 ounces every 3 hours is reasonable. If she's content (which I assume she is), I would not worry.
