I have now put Eliza onto formula after 3 days of bf,
She is taking 1oz every hour trough the night which is invisibly exhausting as I am getting no sleep.
Trough the day she takes 1-2oz every 3-4 hours.
We are using hipp organic but considering changing to cow and gate as it's thicker so may stop the hourly feeds. Would that be ok?
 
I have been feeding my baby c&g after breastfeeding for a week. He went straight on no problem and was taking 2-3oz every 4 hours, now he is taking 6oz every 4 hours at 4 weeks old (he's a hungry little thing) and he has been sleeping for 5 hour stretches at night sometimes! If it's possible and your baby is not screaming for a feed try to stretch it out a little by giving her extra formula. I think I was lucky cos my son only fed every 3 hours when he bf too.
Hope this helps. Xx
