Try offering her a bigger bottle and see if she will drink it. If she’s finishing every bottle I was told to up the amount slightly? Try with the last bottle before bed and you might get a little more sleep xx

Mine’s 15 weeks and on 210ml / 7oz roughly every 2.5 hours during the day. It’s good for them to eat regularly during the day as it tends to equal longer stretches at night x

We don’t get any longer sleep though the night 3hrs max 😳 tried to offer more and doesn’t have it. Just made her a 3oz and she’s only had 1.5oz. So all over am I doing something wrong? Help 😭

No, you aren’t doing anything wrong mama, it’s just baby likes little and often. Hopefully she’ll start drinking more for you soon x

Every baby will have their own preferences. Try not to worry. They don't tend to follow the rules. As long as she is gaining weight appropriately, there is no need to force her into a pattern she's not happy with!
