Formula fed babies

Does anyone’s 8 week old only drink 3-5 oz every 4 hours the reason why I say 3 because that’s sometimes all she will drink and sometimes she will finish the bottle? Just seeing if this is normal?

Mostly round the 3-4 hour mark and yeah mostly still only 4oz rather feed little and often then him getting bloated and gassy xx

Glad it’s not just my little one then! Yeah it’s normal some days they are hungrier than other days same as we would be. She will drink 550 mls some days in total and other days 820mls a day x

I know this may be completely wrong in your scenario but I noticed my little girl wouldn’t take the last ounce or two when she was around that age and I needed to up the teat on the bottle and she began finishing them off each time. Just food for thought in the coming weeks xxx

I’ve tried upping the teat my little one is on a size 3 for 6 months plus😂 still don’t take it all sometimes does sometimes doesn’t 😂🙈 good idea though xx

@Stephanie oh my hahaha! Yeah I suppose for anyone that hasn’t tried it facing the same issue xx

@Aimee thanks so much hun yes just upped the teat and it’s not changed at all lol she will either have 3 oz or finish the bottle and drinks every 3/4 hours doesn’t seem bothered though but always seems so little compared to what others day and the formula tin lol xx

@Natalie never heard of this and my little girl is the same age, can these be done in any bottles we are on maam ones? Can you send it to be please so I can see what you mean but that’s a good idea thanks so much I might look into this, she’s never drank anything more than 5 and no close in upping her oz xx

Thanks so much everyone glad it’s not just me xx

My the same he drinks every 3-4 hours on a 4oz and empty it and it’s seems he still hungry as he belly rumbles so for the last of days I have added a oz now and he 50/50 if he finishes it now so I’m bk and forward between 4oz to a 5oz.

@Natalie thank you for this appreciate it xx

@pamela yes this seems like the same as me maybe some of them are bigger drinkers than others xx
