Hungry baby milk?

[KarrierBag]

Am wondering whether or not to try Ava with hungry baby as she used to go 3-4 hours between feeds but now is only going 2-2.5, she's also waking through the night at about 2am and taking 4oz before going back to sleep when she previously slept through (8-9pm until 6-7am!). Through the day she's draining 5oz bottles but wont take 6oz, she just starts spitting it out and dribbling it everywhere after 5/5.5oz - she drank 30oz the day before yesterday, plus another 6 through the night!

So, what I'm asking is, what do you think? I don't think stage 1 is filling enough for her now but just wondered if others agree!

Thanks!

I'd personally swap, I always go by the fact if they seem to want more but just can't drink enough to fill their tummies! Which sounds the case with your ava, if you've tried upping the feeds and she's not able to take the whole six but will still want another 4-5 within couple hours, I'd switch. But thats just me. Just don't ask the hv cos they'll always say no! LOL

Yeah and don't worry abt gradual you can literally jump from one feed to another with no adverse affect.
