For those who's Lo's are around 2months

[Mummythree]

Just wondering, those who's Lo's are or around 2months old,
What bottles are you using? what formula do you use? how many oz and how often do they take it? and what size teats are they on and how are they getting on with them?

My ds is 9weeks old, just slightly over 2months old.
We use Tommee Tippee Closer to nature bottles, and aptamil first milk.
he takes 5-6oz every 3hours and goes for 8-10hours after his last feed which is between 8-10pm, he will sleep 8-10hours then have a feed and often goes back to sleep for 2-3hours.
we have just switched to the variflow teats a couple of days ago, he seems to be liking the faster teats, he gets more wind up quicker, falls alseep less during feeds and gets as much as he wants with the various different flows. only pain in the bum is sometimes him sucking hard it comes out quick and you need bibs and muslins to hand but hes getting used to ciontrolling the flow

Mops has 5 6pz bottles in 24hrs normally. This is roughly (depends when she wakes for the day) 8am, 12pm, 3:30pm, 6:40pm and 5am. She has dropped her 5am (night) feed twice so far and on those days has only had 4 bottles of 6oz. She will normally go 4 hrs in the day however we reduce the gap near the evening to ensure she gets her bottles in before bedtime xx

what teats are you using? x

 

[KittyVentura]

Stage 2 Tommee Tippee CTN teats. 3-6 months I think xx

we have been using the variflow past couple of days is it the medium flow ones? what they like? x

Using avent bottles. Bebivita formula (german brand no one has ever heard of). Takes about 5-6oz per feed, depends on how often she takes it - sometimes every 2 hours, sometimes 4. She'll go about 6-8 hours through the night. We're using the 2nd stage teats, will be going to 3 soon as they're collapsing a lot now.

We find them to be great. The slow flow ones kept getting blocked for some reason and it was taking her an hour or more to take a few oz so we moved up at 4 weeks and she gets on brilliantly with them xx

My LO is 2 months tomorrow, take 3.5 - 4oz every 3hrs!
Using TT CTN bottles with medium flow stage 2 teats!
At night she goes 6 hours before waking for a bottle!

Am feeling very jealous of some of your LO sleeping.

Max is 8.5 weeks. We use dr brown bottles and mid flow teats, using cow and gate comfort milk.

He feeds roughly - 730am, 1030am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, 11pm and 4am. Am desperate to lose the 4am but no sign yet. He takes around 4.5oz a feed. He is pretty fussy on the bottle and won't up these feed amounts.

Amelia is 7.5 weeks old, were using TT CTN bottles with the variflow teats. Shes taking 6oz every 3-4 hrs and having her last bottle around 9pm at night. Night before last she went down and slept until her feed at 5 then slept until 8:30. Last night she fed at 9, woke at 2:30 then slept until 8 so she's finally starting to sleep longer stretches, just not the same every night!

Isabella is 7 weeks old tomorrow. We use avent bottles size 2 teats. She has 5oz of aptamil at roughly.. 8am, 11.30am, 2.30pm, 6.30pm, 10pm, 4am. Like i said these are roughly the times give or take half an hour depending on what we r doing and if she is sleeping! Most of the time she drinks the majority of the bottle and is full, sometimes she will leave an ounce. Xxx

Sarah is on Avent size 1 teats at the mo planning on moving her on to size 2 from next week when she hits 8wks(my 2yr old will only use a size 2 teat and has done since she was about 8-9wks old!)I am just moving Sarah onto 5oz feeds as, at 4:45 she took 4oz, 6:45 2oz then at 8pm another 2oz and she had been taking a full 4oz feed every 3hrs before this. Last couple of nights she has dropped the 10pm/11pm feed why oh why couldn't she drop the 2am/4am feed instead? will see how we go tonight.
