Looking for advice as I'm desperate

It's really getting to me. My daughter of 5 months has been this way for months now it's definitely not a phase. She has 5 bottles two 6 and three 5oz she will happily drink all the 6oz at bedtime but the bottle during the day is a nightmare sometimes she's barly driving 4oz she hadn't upped her oz intake as she's getting bigger which worries me coz then she will drop weight. I don't know if 3 hours between feeds is too much for her dp I up the oz and do 4 bottle? She's such a FOMO and it's really worrying me she's gonna lose weight

Do you know if she is tracking well with her weight on her centile? My little one is just over 4 months and sounds similar, in the mornings we tend to do 4oz but then 6oz later in the day. I was a bit worried but had him weighed last week and was absolutely fine so that's all that matters!

@Amy last time I got her weighed she was about 16 weeks and didn't drop any weight stayed on same centile since she was born x

My girl is the same as she is so nosey in the day but will drink in the evening before bed! She still only just takes 4oz in the day and 5oz at night, but her weight is fine and she tracking correctly

My baby is 5mo and has 4oz in the morning and 6oz later in the day too. I think of it like this- I don't eat breakfast but noone has ever worried I don't get enough calories in throughout the day as I'm not skin and bones. If your baby is tracking their centile line then there's no issue at all, and tbh even if they drop down a bit it's still not an issue unless it is a dramatic drop or actually losing weight.

My girl is very much like this. She will barely drink anything for the first half of the day and because she's majority bf she won't drink more than 4oz of formula. She was unwell for 4 weeks after her last lot of injections then got diagnosed with CMPA so the diarrhoea has only just stopped, she's also crawling (very badly 😂) and just generally a very active baby so I'm constantly worried about her weight as she's dropped on the growth chart. But they do usually plateau out at this age and stop rapidly gaining fat. If she's happy and still gaining I wouldn't worry x
