11lb baby... how much milk?

[loopylew]

Archie has just turned one month and weighs 11lb2oz, ive just upped his bottles to 6oz and i breastfeed first thing on a morning and in evening but i think he gets very little from me now. He goes through 6-7 bottles in a 24hr period, just wondered how much other 11lb babies were drinking and how often? Archie can go from 9pm-4am but then during the day wants feeding every 2-3 hours.

My LO is 6 weeks and 11lb 11oz, he was taking 4-5oz every 2-3 hrs at 11lb.He is now on hungry baby milk and taking 5 oz every 3hrs during the day and at night he has 5oz at 7pm,11pm(dream feed),3am and 7am aprox so about every 4hrs during the night.x

the maths is 2.5 oz per lb of baby so about 27oz a day so about 5 oz feeds, in theory

For the weight it would be 5 times 5 oz feeds if you go by the tin - but I think that would be too few feeds at a month old personally - Ours was 11lbs 1oz a week ago and we do around 30-32oz in a 24 hour period at the mo. split up into ''whenever'' <--- growth spurt times mean she wants feeding not on a schedule.

My LO is on 5-5 1/2 oz of hungry baby every 3-4hours sometimes she drains it. she sleeps 10pm-6/7am ish. she is 7weeks and 11lb 13oz.
I have only just switched her milk because she just wasnt satisfied with any other milk. now she has settled.

my LO is just turning 4 weeks on sat. and weighs 11lb 7oz. and the past 2 weeks hes been on 5oz.and wants fed sometimes 2Hrs later. after a feed sometimes he will cry for more. i tryed him on the hungrier baby the other week but he wasnt settling, thought it might have upset his stomach as he was only about 2 weeks old.
was thinking of trying it again maybe next week to see if it will make a difference.
anyone else switched to the hungrier milk at such a young age??
or got any advice on what to try with him . xx

i tried Archie on hungry baby milk and it gave him tummy ache i think and a lot of wind, id rather just increase his normal milk

i just posted a very similar thread...I offer Kian 5oz bottles at 6-7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm 8pm and 11.30pm and a 2oz at 3-4am but he doesn't always drink it all. Normally he finishes abt 3 of his bottles a day and the rest he only has abt 3-4 oz, sometimes just 2oz and then he'll have another oz ant half hour later. Its all very hit and miss even tho i try to follow a routine.
Its so hard to find info on FF these days- i have no idea whats right

Archie's routine is similiar but he doesn't have the 11.30 feed anymore, saying that he was up every 2 hours ish lst night but normally he sleeps 8pmish to 5/6am
