do you feed your baby the full 5 maximum bottles per day?

[sparkle1]

Hi
Ive been feeding full formula now for at least 3 weeks (LO is 15 weeks).
LO used to wake up at around 7am for first feed then second feed at around 10.30am, 3rd at 1.30pm, 4th at 4.30 & last feed about 8pm then I would put him to bed at around 9.30 & he would sleep straight through.
Now he isnt waking till around 9.30am (not that im complaining) but this mean s his last feed is at 10.30pm when he would normally be fast asleep.
Do you think I should drop the last feed & would four feeds be enough? Or do you always need to give the full 5 feeds in 24 hours?
Many thanks

ud be alright so long as u gave the same amount of ozs per day, so just give more per bottle so hes getting the same amount of milk, just less bottles

Liss dropped her 5th bottle around 3-4 weeks ago. So around 14 weeks! Each bottle then needed an extra oz to keep her going.

I was never told they need 5 bottles a day, we fed on demand and they ate what they wanted, whether it be 4 times or 8 times. If he's content I would just keep doing what your doing

When you say 5 feeds, I'm assuming you are looking at the guidelines on the tin? I would drop the feed and just up the other bottles

I've never been told about this max 5 bottles a day..just been told to feed when they are hungry! LeeAnne usually eats 5oz every 3-4hrs (which I guess is about 5 sometimes 6 bottles)

I just feed Elyse on demand. But it usually works out to about 5 or 6 bottles over 24 hours

Brooke dropped from 6 feeds to 5 feeds at around 3 months and she still has 5 feeds a day now

Annabelle is one 3 meals a day so is now on 4 bottles a day but i struggle to get the amount of oz in her as she just isnt a milk baby.

when she was little we fed on demand too but she got herself into a routine of 5 a day
