Feeding frequency

For those of you with formula fed babies, how old are they and how frequently are you feeding them in the daytime please? I feed my 7 week old every 3 hours in the day currently, but wonder if I should space out feeds more

9 weeks and 4oz every 3 hours other then his first night bottle he usually goes 4-5 hours but then back to 3 hours after that one x

Mine is 6 weeks and we try for 4 hours but rarely get this. Usually 3 hours and offer 6oz - he gets through between 4-6oz. He drinks loads in the day and then sleeps for up to 8 hours overnight (sometimes!) and then up (8-4 approx) then feed then up again around 8 and back in day cycle.

8 weeks on Saturday and she eats 6oz (180ml) every 3 hours, she starts to get a little fussy at the 2 and a half hour mark and is fully ready by 3 hours!

9 weeks, and mines the same will start to get fussy 2.5 hours, mostly makes it to 3 hours, hardly ever goes over 3 hours not even through the night. He has 4/5 oz x

9 weeks old and currently on 6oz and feeding every 3-4 hours. He also has started to have an additional 4/5oz as an extra feed before his longer nighttime sleep which has just started in the last few days.

8 weeks between 3 and 4 hours and she will drink 4-6oz

How many times u give him bottle in 24 hours ?

@Sam How many times u give him bottle in 24 hours ?

6 weeks and she goes every 5 hours on 5oz through the day but always wants an extra couple of ounces around 7/8 o clock but has just started sleeping most of the night now

6 weeks and he’s feeding every 3-4 hours, sometimes he takes a small amount around the 2.5 hour mark depending how much he took previously. He seems to feed less volume during the day and finishes a 5oz bottle at night 😅

8 weeks on Saturday, 24-27oz a day, over 7/8 feeds… he usually takes around 3-3.5 per feed xxx

@Anjum when he’s drinking larger volumes we’re averaging 6 bottles and max he’s drank in a day is 31oz

@Sam mine is 6 weeks old and only take 3 oz every 3 hours in 6 times a day I am concerned

@Anjum are you offering more and they are not finishing the bottle? If so, they’re content enough and if surpassed birth weight I wouldn’t worry!

@Sam yes I offered more but she only takes 2 or 3 max oz
