Advice ref formula feeding

[gingajewel]

Hi All, my little girl is 21 days old and currently has a 40z bottle every 3-4hours. In the middle of the night she generally has a feed about 1:00am or 2:00am but she always seems hungry after it still and very unsettled (Last nite she wudnt settle for 3 hours!!) Would it be worth adding an extra ounce just to this bottle?? Would that b ok or wud i have to add an extra ounce to all her feeds!

Thanks for your advice - first time mommy!!!!

Thanks G xxxx

We fed Joe on demand and once he started draining the bottles, we'd make up another oz in his next one and let him take as much as he needed. Sometimes I couldn't believe how much he'd take and somedays he'd take a little less.

Hope that helps x

Yup - if baby is draining bottles, add an ounce and leave it to LO whether they want to drink it or not

I'd give it a go and see what happens. I'm finding the bottle thing all a bit trial and error and I've been doing it nearly 4 months now (I breastfed my daughter).
