Formula amounts

I know this question gets asked alot but how much formula is everyone's baby having and how often? Mine is 15 weeks and finishing 6oz every 3 hours and sometimes struggles to wait as long as that, it just feels like a lot! If she has a bottle sooner she doesn't quite finish it.

Mine is 16 weeks and can struggle to finish 5oz! Try giving her an extra oz and see how she gets on ☺️

My little boy is 14 weeks and is draining 6oz every 2 hours! Going to have to up it to 7 😩 it does feel like a lot but if I don’t give it him he screams for more an hour later x

@Danielle Collier have you spoken to a hv or anyone about it? It feels like so much and I worry I'm overfeeding but like what are we meant to do we can't just let them starve😂

Our little boy is having 7oz bottles every 2 hours during the day (6 bottles). He sleeps 10 hours at night so no feeds overnight x

@Ruby yeah she said just give him what he wants 😂 sometimes I feel like he will burst if he has anymore haha x

@Danielle Collier okay that's made me feel better, thank you haha

@Gemma ah she's usually up once or twice, will try switching to 7 x

11 week olds do 6oz every 3 hours and then 7oz before bed, if their finishing the bottle then up the oz to 7 maybe x

My 13 week old has 4-5oz every 2.5-3.5 hours occasionally that stretches to 4 hours. She sleeps for around 8 hours at though x my first daughter was on 6oz by this age though and had about 5 bottles a day so I think it's normal x

My boy is 16 weeks tomorrow and is currently having around 6.5/7oz every 4 hours, 4/5 times a day

3.5 months and has 4-5oz every 1.5-2.5 hours

My baby is 16 weeks this week and on 6oz every 3 hours, 5 times a day but she also struggles to last the full 3 hours half the time, I tried her with a 7oz bottle before bed this evening and she guzzled it down, I think I’m gonna try 7oz bottles from now on and hopefully we can stretch it to 4 hourly x

My 12 week old has 6oz every 3hrs x

My 10 week old has 3.5oz every 2.5 hrs…now I think I’m under feeding

I wouldnt worry, my girl is 13-14 weeks and she drinks a 9oz every 3-4 hours depending on how long she naps. Which is fewer now she sleeps all through the night with no night feeds

My little girl is 14 weeks and drinking 6oz every 2.5 hours and the health visitor said she needs another ‘snack’ bottle in between those because she’s dropped a weight percentile. I don’t understand how I’m meant to fit that in! But just to assure you, you aren’t overfeeding
