Formula

Typically yes but I’d say that is something that’s more common in babies that are on less feeds and no night feeds. For example my LO stayed on the same amount each bottle until about 9 months old, where she then had a bigger bottle at night. But whatever works for you! It’s only an extra oz, and if baby sleeps better with that then that’s great

Yes I tried that but my baby only took the amount he liked. He would spit out the extra so I stopped doing it. My pediatrician recommended that to help the baby sleep longer

Yes. Something else that helps is having the baby wear a pamper that is one size bigger than the pamper he wears regularly. For example, if he wears a size one, have him wear a size two to sleep so that if he pees the pamper can hold it allowing him to continue to sleep undisturbed. Only change the pamper if he poops. This is something I learned from our night nurse and it helps a ton.

I’m not sure how this works cause my baby who is 4 weeks just takes what he wants, I can’t make him have more and wouldn’t want to either. I think some try dream feeds where they offer them a bottle whilst they’re still sleepy and they sometimes take that but no idea how people give their babies a certain extra amount if the baby doesn’t want it 🤷‍♀️ I’ve seen lots of tik toks of new born babies being rushed into ‘routines’ and makes me feel like I’m going wrong, but I just don’t understand how they do this when the baby just needs what they need when they need it at this point. It’s the fourth trimester and it seems that’s forgotten a lot 🤷‍♀️ as long as baby is healthy, happy and growing in line to their individual charts that’s all that matters to me in the fourth trimester xx

My baby has been wanting an extra ounce at bed time for a couple weeks, he's the same age. he also sometimes cluster feeds the couple hours before bedtime and then takes 4oz before bed. Sure he started doing this he sleeps 10 hours with a 2-4oz feed in the middle.
