since coming out of hospital, my little boy has had a feed every 2 hours..
it was 1 oz for a day, then up to 2 oz, for about 2-3 week, then up to 3 oz, now since about a week and half ago, its gone up to 4oz.. but he ALWAYS has them 2 hour apart. sometimes if hes asleep he will go 3-4 hours, he always did before too. through the night.. on a good night (very rare) he will go a max of 4 hours in between, but mainly 2-3 hours and he doesn't always take 4 oz, its usually 2-3 oz through the night..
is this too much too often? and could this explain his suspected reflux?
if so how do i increase the time in between when this is what he wants, if he wakes for a bottle 2 hours after last, i have about 15 mins to get bottle ready or hes screaming for it.. so theres no way i can try have him go another hour?
i have read other posters on here saying their little one had 4-5 oz bottles at 5x a day.. my little boy obviously has more than that when hes feeding every 2 hours :s
when i took him to the docs about him being sick, she asked how often he feeds i told her 3oz every 2 hour, she looked at me and said 'and why every 2 hours' i just told her thats what he wants :s
could it be that hes just got used to having one every 2 hours?
