It is not correct to give a spoonful formula amount for a 3-month-old because at this age the baby's feeding is only breast milk or formula milk, supplementary feeding has not started. Babies don't eat with a spoon before 6 months.
A 3-month-old's nutritional needs vary by weight and appetite. Generally, a formula-fed baby feeds 6-8 times per day, consuming approximately 120-150 ml (4-5 oz) per feeding. Breastfed babies are fed on demand with variable amounts.
If you think in spoonful amounts: 1 tablespoon is about 15 ml. So 120 ml of formula is about 8 tablespoons. But this doesn't mean you feed the baby with a spoon — formula is still given by bottle.
In short: a 3-month-old doesn't eat with a spoon, formula amount is adjusted by weight and appetite. Asking your pediatrician for the exact amount will be best.
