Combi feeding
Hi fellow September mums,
If you’re combi feeding, would you mind sharing roughly how many feeds of each you do and how many oz per formula feed? Trying to work out if I’m overfeeding! Thanks.

Following this for my own knowledge but I BF almost exclusively and then every other day add in a 5oz bottle to give me a break for a few hours as he’s pretty much on me every 3 hours. My boy tracks along 9th percentile though so I think he’d be heavier if I did more formula feeds.. curious to see quantities others are doing if they’re combi feeding more regularly
I BF her first & last feed of the day (20-30 mins) and then do roughly 5 bottles of 7oz through the day (every 2 hours ish). She’s a tall girl (almost 9kgs) so likely will be moving to offering 8oz soon as she’s starting to finish it all more regularly.

7am - BF 1030 - 6oz 13 - 6oz 16 - 6oz 1830 - 6oz 21 - 6oz The 9pm used to be BF as well but replaced that about 4 weeks ago. I always offer 6oz, she sometimes drinks all, sometimes leaves anywhere between 0.5-2oz. No idea if that’s too much, not enough or whatever but it works for us. She’s following 25th centile & no concerns
