Formula feeding not meeting amount
So my LO is on a low centile, he's not been weighed for a while but always seems to be getting heavier. I think he must be around 7Kg so the formula hes meant to have is over 1000ml. He normally has around 800 maybe 900 occasionally.
Does anyone have the same? I've never been able to get him to increase

As long as he's gaining even a little bit I would be concerned. My daughter is supposed to have around 1l of her formula a day she doesn't have more than around 850ml she's always been under the recommended but it even says on my formula tub some babies will need more or less than the guidelines so just go with baby xx
Thank you both, this has really reassured me! X

My LO has around 900ml when she’s meant to be on more than that (formula recommends 1050ml). Sometimes she’ll do even less, more around 750-800ml. She’s growing just fine. I offer bottles more frequently if she’s not taking much, but she’ll still only take what she wants to. I wouldn’t worry unless they stop gaining weight x
