Heyy love ! I think that’s normal My sons drinking around the same amount , is he passing stool like normal?xx

How many months that doesn't sound to much some babies are more hungry then others

Maybe a growth spurt? X

@Jenny hes about 4 and a half, i used to get in trouble all the time when he was younger for overfeeding him though so i think thats why im a bit unsure now

@Amy thats what I’m thinking I’m pretty sure they have one around this age it’s just so expensive 🤣 x

@Jess i am planning on starting weaning soonish but ive just swapped his formula a couple days ago which is when his formula intake went up so i’m just letting his body get used to the new formula first x

@Miss honestly i have no clue i swapped his formula a couple days ago from prescription formula to normal formula and i don’t know if it looks normal or not 🤣 xx

What formula? Xx

@Miss kendamil organic xx

That should be okay I know my son has been drinking a lot from 2nd month and they stated it was fine As long as they’re passing stool like normal xxx

@Millie what's his weight do you know? If he's still accepting the bottle an finishing it I would say it's ok. Have you tryed sticking to the same onzes but making it every 3-4 hrs ?

@Jenny he’s about 8.5kg so definitely on the bigger side and i don’t really feed him on a schedule just as when he gets hungry and I would hate to leave him hungry for a couple hours just for the sake if it x

I thought my little girl was eating a lot 😅 she has 7/8 bottles a day and the amount varies. She will have anything between 4-6oz however she eats every 2/3h max. In total she eats anything between 850-1100ml a day.

@Millie then keep doing what your doing you would know if your over feeding 🙂

@Julia to be fair her top end isnt much lower than how much my little boy has he had 6 bottles today but he only has 1 night feed over 12 hours

My daughter is 4 months and has 180ml (6ish oz) 6 times a day. She doesn't get a feed overnight so it works out at about every 2 hours during the day. I could definitely see her having 8.5oz every 2 hours during the day in another 2 weeks

Mines 4 and a bit months, on 91st centile since way in the womb and takes 6oz 6 bottles a day. But looking at increasing it to 7oz as he’s starting to finish each bottle consistently now
