New to formula

I stopped ebf in December and had this exact same confusion for weeks! I offer 210ml around every 3 hours (7, 10, 1, 4) and 240ml before bed! He also has one bottle during the night! I have found he’s taking less now that he’s having food, so might drop a bottle and feed every 4 hours instead

Which formula have you gone onto? I use aptamil and it has a guide on the size so I’m feeding 7oz 4 times a day and usually 4oz during the night when she wakes up somewhere between 2am & 4am. As she’s on solids too I don’t worry too much if she leaves some at the end of the bottle

I’m using the same but as he’s teaching I wasn’t sure as he’s only having maybe max 5oz at one time

My girl usually has 180ml in the morning then 3x150ml and then 180ml before bed (so every 3 hours during the day, she sleeps through the night) she is teething now too and it’s been a struggle to get 540ml into her yesterday and today 😞 If I were you I would just see how much he takes and go from there. If he is finishing 150ml then go up to 180 but don’t worry if it is lower for a few days as it is normal while they are teething. 4 hours should be the maximum time between really so offering little and often is probably best to start with

Sorry slightly different but how have you managed the switch? I want to do the same but my lg is having none of it!

@Heather sometimes my daughter only wants to take 5oz especially when she was at the worst of teething so I made her 5oz bottles until she was finishing them quickly and searching for more so when it came to next feed I upped it to 6oz and so forth

@Becky he just refused the boob one day, he wasn’t bothered by the taste different either, I have read you can mix breast milk and formula and then gradually decrease amount of breast milk and increase formula

@Liza that’s what I think I’ll do, wasting too much milk at the moment!
