How many oz?

Just curious... how many oz does your baby feed per feed. My baby will only take 4-6oz every 3.5/4 hours. And even then I really have to encourage him to feed which takes roughly 45mins per feed (he's been a slow drinker from birth, regardless of the teat size etc). We very rarely hit that 35oz target which makes me feel like a crap mum but he just isn't interested.

We have 5 x 7oz but only moved up to 7oz this week and sometimes she won't quite finish it all yet, she will be 6 months next week

8oz, 4 bottles a day

Yeah my boy is literally the same between 5-6oz every 3.5/4 hours sometimes takes a while but the bottle in the night drinks like he’s dying of thirst!!! X

Same here! Always been a struggle since he was around 6 weeks old to get him to drink xx

Same we struggle to get more than 150ml in usually 110-130ml always been same she has around 750ml a day sometimes less baby was 6 months on 25th March don’t think we’ve ever hit 35oz a day more like 25oz

8 ozs 4 times a day x

You're not a crap mum! I was stressing about amounts but my HV said ignore the box recommendations as some babies will need less and some need more. My LG is around the 50th centile now and doesn't have close to 35oz and is gaining what she should be if not more.

My little girls on 4oz every 3 hours x

7oz every 3.5/4 hours😊

My little boy has 6oz every 3/4 hours usually. Don't ever think you're a crap mum, showing you're worrying means that you care about them. X

7oz every 4 hours roughly, between 8am till 8pm, no night feeds x

Mine was having 7oz every 3 hours during the day and a feed during the night. But has recently gone off his bottles so will either drain it or more often only drink about 4oz
