October mums, how many oz?

[emz1980]

How many ounces and how often are ur LO feeding?? Alfie is draining 5oz feeds, should I up it to 6?? He feeds every 4-5hrs xx Any advice be greatly appreciated.

If he's draining the bottle then def up the bottle.
Charleys taking 3-4oz's every 3 hours. He did go up to 5oz's but then stopped drinking so much so I've lowered it again

6 oz every 4-5 hours (except at night when he has 6 oz at his 11pm feed and then sleeps until 5-6am) x when they drain the bottle then I up it x

daisy has 4oz every 3 hours + boobie milk 3 times a day but that under an oz a time i think at night she has 2oz per feed

thanks ladies, I'm worried Im going to turn him into a huge porker!!! I will try 6oz for a few days, i guess I can always lower it again, that just seems soooo much of a big bottle!! lol

I fill Drake's bottle up to 6oz. He don't always take that though, some times he only takes about 3oz but has them every 2 hours and other days he'll have 5oz and go 3hourly. He's a feed on demand baby! Yeah he's a chubster but i love his rolls lol

jealous!!!

he was sick last night(1st time he has ever been sick) and i think it knackered him - plus i kindof cheated as he was on my chest as i was scared he would be sick again!!!

Seb's a chubby bubba too but he's in perfect proportion so I am happy x I feed him on demand too and he's still taking 6oz every 4-5 hours x

 

[MrsR]

Tink, I don't think it's cheating! In my opinion where they sleep through is irrelevant plus co-sleeping is fab! He he x

 

[tinkerbell86]

it is fab amd i love it but i was worried he would be sick again and choke if i laid him down..........i dont usually get this i usually get last feed at 11 then at about 3-5 (depends on OH's shifts) he whinges so he comes for a cuddle and then asleep till about half 7!!!

 

[MrsR]

That's pretty much exactly what Seb does!!!
