15 week old only having 4 feeds a day


My LO is 15 weeks old and only has 4 7oz bottles a day. All the stuff i've read said he should have 5 bottles a day, but he hasnt had 5 bottles for nearly 3 weeks.
He is a really happy baby and he isnt ill. Should i be worried or not? I was fine with it until someone said im not feeding him enough.

As long as he is putting on weight and lots of wet and dirty nappies it's fine. Every baby is different and has different needs. If he is draining the bottles maybe offer 8oz a feed if not stick with 7oz. He will let u know if he isn't getting enough.

My LO decided to reduce her feeds to 4 a day since she was about 13 weeks she has about 8 per feed. She's putting on weight fine and my hvs aren't worried. If I feed her every 3hrs she messes about not really ready for it xx

I definitely wouldn't worry, i think my lo was about that age when he only had 4 bottles a day. I just think it's better that he's having 4 good bottles than loads of small 'snacks'.
