I always thought demand feeding was only for breastfeeding, but I guess if he's making the movements with his mouth or 'his' que that he is hungry I would feed him, but maybe you could look up the formula on the net? And it might suggest something?

I demand fed both my children on formula. Most kids won't take what they don't want/need. I have never heard the 3 hr rule either, and as there are so many other guidelines that must be stated on the tin, then I would think that would be one of them.
If I wasn't sure that they wanted a feed, or if it was just a snack, I would make a smaller amount and get more if need be

A formula fed baby is still a baby and will demand food in the exact same way that a breast fed baby does. The formula tin suggests a number of feeds and an amount for each feed, but in reality the only thing on the tin that you MUST follow is how to make up the formula.

I think if a baby is hungry you should feed it - no matter what type of milk it is
