7oz feed - how often do you feed ?

[Mrs Doddy]

Jess normally takes 3oz, I have always fed her every 3 hours as she wasn't taking much, she must be having a growth spurt as she has upped to 7oz !!!! I am thinking every 3 hours isn't needed now - would you say I should feed her every 4 hours with this amount ??

If she doesnt cry for a feed after 3 hrs, there is no harm to try & stretch it to 4 hrs hun. xx

 

[Mrs Doddy]

problem is she doesn't cry for food so I have to take some control !!!

olly feeds every 4 hours and lets me know if he hungry sooner. see what happens, if she is draining the bottle every time then maybe bring it back to 3 hours or up the amount you give. xx

Mine never cried for food & he was going for 4 hrs between feeds. He was taking 4 bottles 5-6 oz each.
