How much milk is enough?
My LO is 20 weeks this week and she’s currently having 5oz about every 2-2.5hrs which I’m feeling is so often. The problem is it’s starting to get less and less time between feeds as she’s getting hungry again. I’m already being told I’m “over feeding her” with this amount so I’m stuck as of what to do. Do you think the doctor would advise to start solids? She has really bad reflux too so I am less inclined to start upping her bottle size. I feel so stuck

my little boy is on 5oz at almost 7 weeks, I would recommend speaking to a doctor about reflux formula and upping her bottle size if you can x
@Chloe she has a lactose allergy and is on lactose free milk so we can’t change that- she currently has thickener in it for the reflux but it only does so much
if you can try a brand of colic stuff called “Dentinox” has really helped my little boy, it’s help with reflux/colic he’s got x
If baby finishes the 5oz on most bottles then up the amount per feed and it will hopefully give you longer gaps between feeds (feeding more regularly could also be a growth spurt)
