My little boy is the same so I’ve given him 2 6oz bottles out of his 5 and that seemed to help him yesterday x

@Catra okay thank you, I don’t no to try the 6 before bed time?

I gave it to him at 10 and 10 yesterday x

My 8wk old has been having two 6oz bottles with his night feeds (he is on boob in the day). He seems very content, leaves a little in the bottom. They say they should always be leaving a little rather than draining the whole lot. If he is draining the bottle increase by an oz.

@Rachel okay thank you, will defo do two a day at first and see how we get on xx

How do you get them to finish the bottle? I struggle at night especially. She will have 40 ml then will sleep for 2 hours, wake up, have another 50 ml and fall asleep for 2 hours. We’re 5 weeks right now, almost 6

Can only try if it's every bottle for 24 hours then move up that's what we do if it's not then baby isn't ready yet. Xx

@Polina he loves his bottle, but I got told if he sleepy changed nappy in between as that will wake him up abit and will Take more milk after xx

@Kayleigh okay thank you, he is taking all of 5ounces of every bottle the last few days x

@Jess try him on 6oz if he's having over 5oz even a little over every time he's ready xx

@Kayleigh I will do thank you, xx

@Jess your welcome. That's what we do with my little boy if he's showing signs of wanting more everytime after 5oz we move him up but he's happy on 5oz at the minute xxx

@Kayleigh Thank you, just didn’t no if 6 was too much, but the last few nights he has been waking with less time in-between bottles too x

@Jess Yeah I'd try 6oz xx

@Jess thank you! Doesn’t work on our girl unfortunately and neither tickles or cold wet napkin 🤪
