is this ok

[hope01]

my lo is 3 months, 11lb 1 was how much she weighed 2 weeks ago, any way
i make her 6oz bottles and she sometimes has 5 at the most every 4 hours...she also goes through the night..BUT if i dont give her her bottle at 4 hours she will go 7 hours or more and still not cry for 1. (ivenot let her do this not really, i left her to see what she wanted to do herslf 2 times!) and i thought this was way too long seeing as after the 7 hours she done a few times, she only wanted 4 oz?? my hv said its not enough. i agree... what do u girls think?

A 11lbs baby should be having around 28oz milk in 24 hours. So maybe try and fit in 5x6oz bottles a day? Your baby seems content and doesnt seem to have noticable hunger cues, so maybe rather than feed on demand try out a routine.If you feed her say 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm and 11pm and offer 6oz bottles at these times she should be getting the nutrients she needs and be able to sleep through from 11pm-7am. People can bang on about feeding on demand being best, but in cases of prem babies or where a baby isnt putting on weight then a routine is a better option. xxx
