Going longer with feeds

My little girl is 10 weeks, 14lb14oz and feeding 4oz bottle of breast and formula mix every 2 hours, sometimes she prefers just the boob tho.. The formula tub says she is recommended to be on 6oz feeds Does anyone know if it’s possible to get her to take more milk and/or last longer in between? She’s only been back on the boob since her vaccinations due to refusing her bottle but I pump too.. so when she’s having a bottle it’s only 4oz and she will refuse anymore than that

You are probably feeding more than recommended because she is feeding every two hours. I wouldn’t worry.. my baby is 13 weeks and she is 10 lb 3 and is on 5oz every 4 hours but some days she won’t even take that My health visitor said for her weight she should be on 22oz a day but as long as she is gaining weight and is reaching milestones not to worry

@Samantha I didn’t think of that 🙉 so really she’s doing 8oz every 4 hours 😂 thank you

No worries- as long as baby is happy and growing I wouldn’t worry about it how much- babies will eat when they want and refuse it when they want- my little one is awkward- one day she will have 27 oz some days she will have 18- but she is putting weight on and t she is happy that’s all the matters
