Mine is 12 weeks and this is the case during the day! I'll make 5oz at a time but will leave about 20ml everytime. But overnight she'll have longer stretches. Past 2 nights she's slept 6hrs without a feed

5oz every 2-2.5 hours 🙄 except overnight thankfully

My little one has 6oz every 2h during the day, then sleeps 10pm - 7/8am. Mostly formula, breast when he wakes up and for comfort during the day 😊

My daughter is almost 10 weeks and drinks little and often. so the most she usually leaves during a bottle during the day is 3 hours max. She manages a bit longer at night x

Yes, my little one is also 9 weeks and wants a feed every 2 hrs day and night. How have others managed to get their little ones to sleep through the night? How much do you give before bedtime?

@Nafi I give her her last feed around 11pm, I do 5oz but she leaves about 20ml then she's out until 6am. She sleeps in a pitch black room with white noise so I think that helps her stay asleep

@Diana do you have white noise playing all night ?

I do yes! I've slept with white noise for a couple years so I need it myself 😂

I only use white noise during the night though. Never during the day!

@Diana ah OK, thanks for that.. we find white noise helps him sleep. But his body clock is fixed to the 2 hourly feeds that I am worried we won't get him to sleep longer, but we will give different milk volumes a try

You could also try sizing up on the teat and see if your little one will take more before falling asleep! Ours alternates between 1 & 2. Worth a shot :)
