Duration between feeds (formula)

Hi September mums! Hope you’re all doing well Just wondering for those formula feeding (NO JUDGEMENTS ON THIS POST PLEASE) - my son was previously breast fed. How often are you going between feeds? I’m trying to offer every 2.5-3 hours but my baby is refusing until 4 hours have passed.

My little girl goes 3.5-4 hours xx

My LB is BF, but a few friends about the same age go about every 4 hours with formula! I know one that goes every 3 but he has reflux so they do smaller feeds, more often. Since I’m BF I feed every 3 hours so it makes sense your LB doesn’t want to eat until 4 hours since I know they’re fuller longer with formula. As long as the diaper output is there and he’s gaining weight, I’d listen to his cues and try a day with 4 hours in between. You’re doing great, momma! 💙

My little girl can go anywhere from 2-4 hours! She’s on 6oz bottles and sometimes 7oz

My baby feeds on demand normally after an hour or so as she won't take a full bottle she takes little and often but thankfully that's not the case at night she will just wake once in the night for a feed

My little girl does 6oz every 2 hours pretty much 8am - 8pm but no feeds at night

My little one dose every 4 hour and some time the od one in between at 6 ounces bottles. will only take that 5 bottles a day and sometimes doesn’t drink all the 6 ounces

We do 6oz every 3 hours. He always finishes it but it we give him 7oz he's always sick even if there's a bigger gap so we stick to the smaller ones.

My girl was going every 4-4.5 hours, then went back to 2.5 hours, now we are about 3-3.5 hours

My boy goes every four hours are are also weaning so he has food offered too xxx

I do 4-5hrs doing 5oz bottles . Sometimes he finishes sometimes not
