12 week old baby feeding
We have always fed my daughter on demand but I've noticed recently that she will rarely ever go over 2.5 hours without a feed.
I will offer 5oz but she will drink 3oz and then around 2 hours later, she wants more. I find that because she doesn't finish her milk, she will want more sooner.
Is there any way I can try and get her to do a longer stretch so she will finish her milk?

My girl is the same, during the day she feeds more frequently and at night she sleeps through I spoke to our paediatrician today and he said so normal, my girl barely finished her milk, but i always offer the same amount!

Have you tried offering the bottle again after 10/15 mins? Ive found doing this helpful to finish the bottle off for mine. But I have to admit even when my 13 week does drink a full bottle (he’s on 7 ounce), he will still want feeding again after 3 hours. The only time he doesn’t feed as often is during the night now where he can go 9/10 hour stretches but this is only very recent. Feeds every 2.5/3 hours is normal though at this age😊
