Feeding...again

[Bee7]

Can't believe how much Jack is eating now! And how chubby he's getting. He has 5oz (150ml) every 4 hours but lately it's more like 3 hourly. The before bed i give him a big feed of 6oz. He's averaging at least 6, sometimes 7 feeds a day and he's only 6 weeks old. Is this normal? It seems like so much for a baby of his age but he does want it and guzzles the full bottle down every time! xx

Evie is 7 weeks on Friday and exactly the same. xxx

Yep Theo is taking the same! Sometimes he even has 7pz of expressed milk! I feel like a cow at the moment I am constantly expressing! Lol. He is also six weeks old xx

Sounds completely normal to me! Max was taking 5oz every 2 hours at 4 weeks old, he now (7 weeks) for some reason is taking less on most days but will then surprise me on other days by draining 6!

Virtually exactly the same as Albert hun. They'll take what they want and even after a 6oz bottle I sometimes have to give him a few more ounces. Greedy little piggy lol
