How much formula??

[pigginteacher]

I'm not sure if I should increase LOs oz. She's currently on 6floz every four hours in the day. She drains her bottles but doesn't cry after them so I'm assuming she's not hungry. I looked on the back of the formula pack and it suggests 7floz for her weight but 6floz or her age, what would you follow? Plus she was sleeping through but has started to wake up at 5.30 so ths has made me think she may need more in the day. I just dont want to over feed her x

Hi hun, just follow her lead. You can start offering her 1 oz extra at bedtime & see how it goes. We never followed the tin guidelines as Omar wasnt a big drinker & his max was 24 oz at 4 months. He's a big baby & it never affected his weight gain. As for overfeeding her, there is nothing to worry out, she will either stop feeding when she's full or bring out the extra. You can never overfeed a baby xx

Yeah don't pay any attention to the label, our LO is on feeds of a 4 month old according to that and she isn't even 2 months yet! As said above, be led by baby and increase slowly if need be!

is she finishing her bottles? If she is then up them by an oz. Iv never gone by the tin, harrison had the 2month recommended amount till he was nearly 7months. So basically, ignore the tin! X
