at the moment Oran feeds approximatley every 3 ish hours no more than 4 hours does he go between feeds but he is pretty spot on with his 3 hours, as he starts grizzling on the dot mostly. The thing is he is doing this on a night as well, so say, if I feed him at 7, he will feed again about 10 to 10.30 then like 1.30am then like 4-5am and then at that feed he won't really settle properly and has to sleep on me as if I put him back in his basket he wakes up.
I have had the occasional 4-5 hours between feeds but its only been a few times.
I was told if he has feeds every 3 hours in the day he should fill up and last longer on a night, but he is not doing this. He is mostly drinking about 3oz, but sometimes its only 2.5 but the past few feeds he has done just about 4oz.
He has expressed breast milk in the day and then from his 7pm feed till his morning feed he has Formula.
Do you think I should try 5oz on a night to try and fill him up more - thing is I dont want him to drink it just cause its in his mouth then throw up cause he has drunk to much. Is 5oz to much really for a 2 week 3 day old?
also he does have bad wind and is quite hard to wind, we have Dr Browns bottles which have made him better and we are off to get some infacol tomorrow, so I thought that the wind could be waking him, then he decides he is hungry since he is awake - he is deffo hungry when he wakes as he polishes off the bottle.
