ollie is 15 weeks old now, she has never taken much milk in one go, she has never managed more than a 5oz bottle but just lately, she only take between 2/3oz the she waits an hour or so and then finishes the rest of the bottle. is this normal? im not worried about her not eating enough, she was 7lb 3oz at birth and last week weighed 14lb 11oz so i know she is getting what she needs but i would of thought by now she would of been able to take a bottle in one go :shrug:
 
Hiya,

Joni was 18w on Saturday and she regularly only takes 3-4.5oz per feed, though she does take it all in one lot and then will go 2.5-4 hours until her next feed. In total she usually takes about 20-26oz across the day. When I was BF and she would take a bottle of EBM she would always take 4-6 oz :shrug:

As long as Ollie is feeding regularly, she has plenty of wet/dirty nappies and her weight gain is following the same centile then she is taking enough :hugs:
 
dont worry my baby gunna be 3 months in a few days and ive never had set times when she wants to eat she does when shes hungry, just think , we like to snack now and again and i just see her as doing that. my litttle girl weighed 14lbs 6oz 3 weeks ago and has about 37oz (of stage 2 milk) across the day.. alot i know but shes a heffa :).. yehh so dont worry aslong as shes happy and puting on weight you dont have nothing to be concerned about :)
