dropping a bottle

[Kirsty1003]

So basically my 15 week old was drinking 6oz every 3 and half hours, I put her up to 7 because she was draining the bottles, but since I did that shes only been drinking 3/4 oz.Yesterday I tried giving her feeds every 4 hours, she drunk quite a bit more. Do you think she wants to drop from 5 to 4 bottles? Im just worried shes not getting enough because its less than she was previously having :s

I just uped los bottles from 5oz to 6 oz cis he dropped down a line on his weight chart but then he started sttn so hes still getting the same amount of milk. I think hes getting enough as i read they should get 2.5oz per pound they weigh a day and lo weighs 11lb9 so i did 12lb x 2.5oz =30oz a day and 6oz x 5 bottles a day = 30oz a day if that makes sense?

How much does your lo weight? just x it by 2.5 and you will know how many oz she needs to have a day.

Shes about 15lb now I think which would be like 37 right? But shes having about 26 on a good day ar the moment!

my dd is 3 months she is probably about 14lbs and drinks 7oz at midnight, 6oz at 10am, 6oz at 230pm, and 6oz at 730pm. so she is way under 2.5/lb. but i cant force her to eat. as long as she is growing i try not to worry.. i know this doesnt help much but im in the same boat.

Since I posted this shes started drinking more milk, must have just been a phase...shes decided now that shes gonna fight all naps and nighttime! If its not one thing its something else eh? Like you said though, you cant force them to drink, suppose they're all different, was just strange how she changed the amount so much literally from one bottle to the next.
