Formula routines

Can I ask what everybody’s 4/5month olds are like for a schedule with their formula feeds? My girl is all over the place at the moment. She’s only taking around 23oz a day which HV said according to her weight she should be more like 30oz but as she seems fine, she’s just going to monitor her growth more closely for the time being. She’s on 6 feeds a day but now is refusing dream feed at 10pm (she sleeps 7-7 with a dream feed usually) and I’m scared she’s too young to be going 12 hours!! Especially as she doesn’t drink loads as it is. She was 12lbs bang on a week ago and is 12.5lbs today so she is growing

We’re on 4 feeds a day but baby is on 8oz. Sometimes a night feed if he needs it. He is a very big boy though at about 20lbs 😂 as long as baby is growing well and following her centile. You can’t force them to drink more than they’ll take, it’s so tough xx

I combi feed but because of many issues and stresses about his weight I only BF overnight/first thing in the morning, I'm not convinced he gets much more than comfort Otherwise he has 4 x 7oz per day xx

My little girl is on 6x5oz feeds in a 24hour period (occasionally only 5). Sometimes she devours them and others she’ll leave a bit. She quite often goes an 11hour stretch at night without wanting a feed too. The HV wasn’t too worried as she’s growing steadily. They’ll let you know if they’re hungry! x

My baby girl is 5 months, she has 5x7oz bottles, every 3 hours and then goes 12 hours without a feed through the night. She doesn't always take the full 7oz. At 19 weeks, she was 14lbs x

Our 19 week old girlie is on 5x 6-7oz, currently weighs 13lb 8oz. Last bottle is usually around 7pm and she wakes between 5:30-6:30, so goes around 10-11 hours without food. We were offering her an 11pm until last week when it just seemed to wake her up more so we decided to drop it and see what happened. She does tend to bulk her last 2 bottles, so usually feeds every 3 1/2-4 hours but like tonight fed at 5:30pm after 4 hours and took 6.5oz but then at 7:15pm took another 5oz x
