@Casey yeah I might try her on 5, I just don't want to over feed her or give her stomach issues. I'm glad someone else is on the same page as me though, I didn't know if it was okay to up to 5oz yet, I'll see how she is with 5 thank you xx
@Georgia yeah I think if they’re crying for it and taking it you can’t over feed xx
@Casey yeah I'm gonna try her next bottle as a 5. Didn't know if it' was okay to with how tiny their stomachs are xx
I would stop looking at the clock and aim for responsive feeding. Look for hungry and full cues and feed accordingly
@Charley yeah, she's just had 5oz was fussy for a little bit afterwards but has gone straight to sleep 😅 I just didn't want to give her too much wnd over feed her x
@Georgia as long as you're watching for those.fullness cues the risk of over feeding is very very low
Yeah she drank it all just just threw up like a little dribble that was it then went to sleep after just a little fuss x
My baby is on 5oz, we increased this recently, she then has less at night (around 2-3oz) so it all levels out. My health visitor said it’s the right thing to do responding to hunger, she was draining her bottles and being fussy and as long as she’s tolerating it (not sicky etc). I think there js quite a bit of scaremongering about over feeding with formula but I think babies mostly stop when they’re full. 🙂
@Katie yeah, she's had a few 5oz bottles since yesterday, my first would eat and eat and we had to stop her when we thought she was full 😅 she stopped at 4oz a few times. It's actually helped her bowel movements, she must have just needed that extra oz a few times during the day 🤣 I'm glad it's not just my LO who's a lil hungry baby xx
I would offer her 5oz and see what she takes, my daughter is feeding similar 4oz every 2 hours then sleeps well overnight, but I always make a 5oz bottle so I know she’s stopped because she’s full not because the bottle is empty. Sometimes she takes the full 5 sometimes she stops at 4 xx
