I really should start keeping track.. Carson is a strange eater.. He is never consistent.... He could eat 6 oz 1 bottle 8 the next then 4 or 2.. Usually it equals out around 6 - 8every 3 hours during the day
 
Ruben has between 24-30oz a day depending on whether he has 4 or 5 feeds before we reach bedtime. Sometimes I try and squeeze a 5th one in, but once we get past about 9.30 he is so tired it's pretty much impossible to get him to eat!
 
We make up bottles for Sophie at 5oz / 150ml. She feeds at 2hrly intervals from about 7am until 8pm. I'd say she takes about 30oz because she doesn't always drain a bottle yet, sometimes she leaves 1 or 2 oz. She has 1 feed during the night now.

Sophie is on hungry baby formula - just incase it makes a difference to your LO :flower:
 
William has 6ozs roughly every 3hrs from 6am-7pm then 1 night feed of 6ozs at 3am. so he prob has between 30-36ozs a day. one of his bottles during the day is a 7oz ready made carton as I find this helps him from being constipated. he seems to prefer ready made formula n drains the whole 7ozs!
 
I use the ready mades or liquids that you add water during the day as its easier on their tummies.. But at night I use the powder.. I just keep a container of it beside my bed, and a few bottles filled with distilled water that way I only have to mix.. Carson is fine if formula is at room temperature
 
I think Alfie is getting the hang of STTN - yesterday 5am today 6!! Only thing is I woke up soaked in milk :dohh:
 
Well done Alfie :flower:

We are off for a few days, going to visit my Sister so I won't be on the computer until we are back on Wednesday. Have a good week ladies :flower:
 
Have a good break kte!

Sportysgirl that is disgusting, how can people make money by compromising babies safety?!
 
Rose, yay Alfie! I've woken up soaked several times! :)

Kte, have a great visit!

Sporty, thanks for the info! There are also tons of fake ergo carriers on eBay, etc. it's sick
Is poppy sleeping any better for you?
 
Im jelous of all you ladies who are able to book the jags! With Seth i booked them myself.. but with Ethan the doctors he is under wont let you book them yourself.. they send you out an appointment... really winds me up especially since if they are ill and cant make it or you miss the appointment for some other reason you cant re-book and have to wait till the next round of imms to come round! Ethan should have his next ones next Friday but iv still not had a letter through. Wont be impressed if they are late sending it... if this one is late then his next one will be too.. and he needs that on time as we go away the week after his should have it :dohh:

As for Formula, my h.v said they should be having 25oz a day minimum. Ethan generally has 5oz or just under at every feed. he has his first around 5/6am and his last at around 7/8pm, generally he goes 3 hours between feeds.

I have to book Ethan into the GP next week too to get his head looked at as his "flat" side is getting worse and also to see if he has tongue tie as i noticed yesterday he cant actually stick his tongue out and the muscle on the bottom comes almost right to the front of his tongue. xx
 
I'm curious how many hours total do your lo stay in bed? And what time do you put them in bed? Carson won't go to sleep before 9:45 for the night.. Im gradually trying to make that earlier... However he doesn't get out of bed I'm the morning until between 8:45-9:00.. today he woke at 9:45.. but he had one of hos refusing to nap days yesterday.I love that he sleeps in but I'm just wondering if I'm setting him up to be a hard baby to wake when he goes to school..as of right now the schedule works for us.. And it will work great for oh when I go to work as oh works afternoons ..what do u ladies think? Should I be waking Carson earlier or let him sleep?8
 
Skeet, alfies timings are almost identical. I've been told that babies bring their bedtime forward themselves when they are ready which will also bring back their wake up time. Mum says I was the same and ended up going from 7-7ish and was a very good sleeper! So don't worry, I am letting Alfie set the pace :)
 
Thanks rose!! To be honest with it being summer I love the later bed time as I can get out to visit after dinner or go for a walk without worrying that I'm cutting into his night time routine.. Plus I still have a bit of time after he goes to bed for me
 
Ethan generally goes down for the night at 8pm and gets up for the day at round about 8/9pm. With Seth i never had a set bedtime/wake time till he was almost 2 then i started bed at 8pm and apart from nursery days he gets up whenever he wants (as long as its after 6am). I never have trouble getting him up for nursery, there is only the odd occasion i have to wake him at 8am if hes not already awake. Im going to do the same with Ethan. I dare say once Ethan is a little bigger i will start a routine as it will be easier with the 2 of them xx
 
Yeah it is handy with evening plans. Although Alfie is usually grouchy in the evenings so it can be difficult. I just usually have people here in the evening rather than going out so he can still have his bath at 8.30 and feed whenever he likes, how he usually does. If we go out for a meal which we have done only a handful of times since I had him, we go to the harvester or somewhere family friendly and try to go as early as possible
 
I'm very lucky Carson is only grumpy if he doesn't get a proper morning nap.. Other then that he is smiles most of the time.. Lol and he's grumpy when I have to wake him from a nap cause sometimes he will nap too long. 3+ hrs!! We haven't attempted going out for dinner yet
