Can I please ask how many ounces your LO's drink/drank in a 24 hour period at just over 4 months old and just about 16lbs in weight?
Louie seems to have decided to drop a bottle during the day. We used to be on a 3 hourly feeding schedule, but he started only taking half his mid-morning and tea time feed. I thought it was because he could go 4 hours between feeds now so yesterday I tried a 4 hourly schedule and it ended up with him having 4 bottles of 7oz. He still slept through the night and hoping for the same again. I don't DF, so just after reassurance really that 4 bottles and 28oz is enough for a baby of his age and weight. I don't know any babies as young as him that only has 4 bottles in a day.
I guess my other option is to go back to a 3 hourly schedule (so that I can fit 5 bottles in during the day) but feed less in the bottle, say 5 or 6oz?
Any advice would be much appreciated - please share your experiences.
Many thanks xx
