My daughter is 11 weeks passed on Saturday and she’s drinking 6oz every 4 hours. In the evenings she will go from 7pm till maybe 2am if asleep. We have started offering from 6oz to 7oz every now and again to try get her used to it. Only started doing this from Friday. Xx

How do you get her to drink that much?! I can’t get mine to drink more than 100ml every 3 hours!

Mine drinks anywhere from 2-4 oz every 2 to 3 hours. Sometimes he just snacks which I don’t know why he’s got in to the habit of snacking. But don’t worry too much, every baby is different. As long as plenty of wet and dirty nappies!

That makes me feel better xx

Yeah I was panicking at one point but I’m presuming he’s taking what he wants when he wants it. Honestly babies are terrifying lol

I would try not to compare too much. Each baby is different and will take what they need. I put my boy on a feeding schedule as his feeding was all over the place and so was nighttime sleep. He now feeds every 3 hours, if he wants before then I’ll give though, not going to see him hungry. We offer 5oz each feed through the day and he doesn’t always finish these, the past few days he’s been finishing most though. He then sleeps from around 10:30/11 to 6/7 and we give him a 6oz in the morning due to the long sleep x

My boy is 11 weeks, he usually takes 5, 4oz bottles a day And he goes from 11/12 ish at night until 8am ish without one x
