This is what I’m going through atm too. My little boy is nearly 6 weeks and it feels like he’s constantly hungry. I do wonder sometimes if it’s a comfort thing as he finishes a bottle then seems like he wants more and then goes off to sleep whilst sucking. We use aptamil too xx
Not sure why health visitor told u that mine came out other day and said if they are draining every bottle to up it and feed on demand xx
My cow and gate formula reckons my baby should be having 120ml 5 times a day, he has at least 8 bottles a day so that's bs . If she's consistently draining the bottle I would up the amount
@Gemma literally the same, sometimes I think maybe she just has no idea when she’s full up and will actually never stop eating unless we stop her😂😂 x
Healthy visitor and midwife’s told me they will let you know when full as lips will close , I just watched for them being sick, if being sick after feeds you know maybe they have had too much , mines having 4oz every 3 hours (longer in the night) he’s 6 weeks and they told me pay no attention to the formula box and give baby what they want , they said it won’t harm them x
@Shauna ohh perfect thanks so much! That’s really helpful xx
@Jaimee-Ann completely get it I’ve got a greedy boy too 🤣 he will 100% be on 5oz in the next week or so x
My little one is 4 weeks. We make 120ml bottles but she still wants more sometimes so we make another 60ml/90ml bottle and let her drink what she wants from that. Sometimes though she won’t even finish the 120ml bottles
My baby boy is 5 weeks on Tuesday and is on 150ml formula and we feed him every 3 hours. He is sometimes draining it as well but I’m trying my best to persevere as he is just so little to be taking anymore but I guess he’s just a hungry boy 😂 we use aptamil x
