Aiden is 3 months and lately he is so darn hungry.I mean chunky monkey!
He is sleeping through the night,9 pm-6 am...( hallelujah) but all the sudden has gone from 4-5 oz to drinking 6-8 oz.. wow.. so my question is..
At what stage did your baby drink this much and how often? He is 26 inches long and 14.3 lbs.
He is on Enfamil gentlease formula.
He also is on meds for acid reflux but isn't barfing too often..still spits up all the time....like a leaky faucet lol.....but not a ton of volume,...and not projectile anymore but maybe once every other week or so..

right now a typical day is
a bottle at about 6 am... 5-6 oz... 
one at 9ish am 6 oz
12:00 ish another 6 oz
3:00 6 oz
6:00 6 oz
9:00 8 oz...
sometimes more..but this is the typical...

Sounds like your little man is going through a growth spurt!!

My son was a big baby...and by 3 months he was eating 8 oz bottles. He was 20lbs by 4 months! I think that is pretty normal!

Matthew is only drinking 4-5oz of Similac Alimentium with a tsp of rice cereal per ounce at every feeding.  Sometimes he won't drink the full 4oz and sometimes he sucks the bottom out of the 5 oz bottles.  He's 13lbs now at 3 months old.

I'm sure the amount your LO is drinking is fine.

Aiden is 14 lbs..so he is bigger but a tad older too(Feb 20th).. anyway yes, was doing 4-5 oz..sometimes drinks a ton..other times not.. humm OK.. today he didn't want too much...so maybe its a hit and miss thing?
Is Matthew sleeping through the night?

Well I'm told sleeping through the night is considered 5 or more hours of continous sleep..if that is the case...then yes.  He goes to bed at 9-9:30 and wakes between 4:30-5:30 for a bottle then lays back down until 7-8:30.  He just started this a couple weeks ago.  I normally get 7 hours of sleep in one stretch which feels wonderful!
