Length of time between feeds

Hi guys, my baby is 10 weeks old almost 11 weeks and has started refusing some feeds, he is currently 4 hours between feeding and we only started that last week, he screams and refuses the bottle, usually if I wait half an hour and settle his crying he will then take it, during the day he might look to take a feed at 3-3.5 hours but not always, he went just short of 5 hours last night and took his bottle with little issue, how long should I be leaving him between feeds do you reckon?

Depends how much he's drinking, he'll know when he's hungry 😊 I wouldn't fret might be his new routine, means more sleep ❤️ if you're worried though don't forget to check with his doctor

He’s on 180ml but sometimes at night he might leave 30ish ml

as long as nappies are consistent, I’d say enjoy the extra sleep! It’s a positive thing that he’s eating more during the day and giving you the longer night stretches, suggests he’s starting to understand the difference between day and night
