Jack was current on 7oz five times a day - but has started wanting food again at night - for the past week. So we have increase to 8oz in his bottles - but is still waking for food.
 
Earl takes anything between 36 and 48 oz a day atm.....thank you growth spurt....... including a night feed at about 4am and a dream feed at 11pm too. He takes between 6 and 8oz in each bottle and eats every 3 hours in the day.

He only started to want the night feed again about 2 weeks ago but prior to that he was waking earlier and earlier. Last night he went without but woke at 5.30 so I'm hoping that we're coming out the other side. :thumbup:

Earl is 19 weeks today :thumbup:
 
Ollie is 14 weeks and he drinks 6 8oz bottles each 24 hour period. I THINK HE IS DRINKING alot, he still needs two of these bottles at night so never goes longer than 4 hours on a 8oz bottle arrghhhh
 
Phoebe is 20 weeks (yesterday) and has been on 5 x 8oz bottles in 24 hours - with one of these anywhere between 11pm and 2am). No sign of wanting to ditch nighttime bottle and she drains it everytime at night. Sometimes she drains al 5 bottles sometimes she doesn't.

No growth spurt for ages - only put on 7oz in a month! Having said that now a growth spurt will descend!
 
Joshua was on 7oz's 5 times a day up until a few weeks ago, he started to seem unsettled after each feed so I upped it to 8oz's each feed, he finishes it pretty much everytime and he is much more content now :thumbup:

ETA- Joshua was born on the 22nd october, day before your Jack :)
 
Earl has regressed slightly actually...again thank you growth spurt. He will now only take 6oz in one go again :dohh: I can wait half an hour and give him another 2oz but it doesn't help as 2.5 hours after eating 6oz he will want another bottle, regardless of that extra 2oz. I've tried adjusting the teat flow....nope, still 6oz 7-8 bottles a day. :dohh: To be honest, I'm not bothered. He's happy and growing well, but from a convenience point of view, fewer bottles would be good. Now we've started the weaning process though, hopefull it will start to drop back slowly. Once he gets to 6 months, apparently they're not supposed to drink as much.....yeah right lol.
 
Abbie has until this week been on 5-6 x 5oz bottles.
She has just gone up to 5-6 x 6oz bottles and her last feed she actually drained it and wanted more!
She is putting weight on just fine considering she isn't drinking as much as it seems every one elses' babies are!

Evie doesnt drink anywhere near the amounts the others are either..she's just shy of 16 weeks old but used to have around 30-32 oz per day and had done for weeks. She's now dropped to about 25 oz per day, give or take an ounce but the HV weighed her and she's still following her percentile nicely. I guess I'll see for sure next week when she's weighed again!
