3 weeks old...

And wanting more than 4oz.

Is that ok?

LO always finishes 4oz and then wants more. I never really gave her any more because when she was BFing she would just comfort suck. And MW said that she's only doing the same with her bottle. I have tried to give her more before, but she just spat it back out.

Tonight, I gave her some water after her feed. She drank 4oz! (I didn't realise too much water is bad for them, I will not be doing it again!!)

Is it worth making up bigger bottles? Or is 4oz all she should be taking?

She sleeps for 4-5 hours after a feed.

I would give her more

Babies just dont seem to settle if they are not full, I would not worry about it, my baby its 25 days old ( just over 3 weeks) and is having 6oz around every 4 hours!! x

I would give her more if that's what she wants, she seems to be going a good time in between feeds
