Am I under feeding my baby?
My 11 week old sleep through the night like 10pm-10am sometimes he use to do 11pm-7am so he had 5 5oz bottles a day. But now he's sleeping in more in the morning he misses his 7am bottle so he's now having 4 6oz bottles a day as he only seems to want a bottle every 3-4hrs throughout the 12hrs he's awake. Do I need to start waking him up at 7am to give him 5 bottles a day? Idk what he weighs as his last weight check was at 6 weeks n he was 4.5kg then. He's not 3 months for another 2 weeks n has been in 3-6month clothing since 2 months n he'll most likely be in 6-9 months by Christmas but he is a long baby. He's getting getting about 24oz a day is this enough?

@Hannah yh he's having plenty of wet nappies, we all do have a cold atm so maybe he's just more tired then normal from being ill? X
Oh bless. Yes most likely so. Keep an eye, but whilst he has plenty of nappies I wouldn’t worry. Hope you all feel better soon x
You can also look up your local weighing clinic if you’re ever wanting to know baby’s weight, they’re usually on weekly
A hungry baby will let you know they are hungry ( unless they are premature) so wet and dirty nappies and a content baby are all good signs ! Xx
Whenever I’m curious of how much my baby weighs, I stand on my weighing thing at home, see what I weigh then grab my baby and stand on it again then minus my weight which will then give me his weight lol

Is he having wet nappies? Atleast 5? If so then it’s fine! Baby boy will tell you when he’s hungry…he may just be a sleepy baby ☺️x
