Overfeeding or just greedy?!

[LucyBee83]

My little bambino will be 3 weeks on Wednesday and she's having roughly 5oz/150ml every 3-3 1/2 hrs. This seems so much! The chart on the tin says this amount is for babies up to 2 months old........ i'm worried i'm gonna overfeed her and she'll become a porker!!! x

If she's taking it she must be hungry hun. Maybe going through a growth spurt. My daughter was 7 weeks yesterday. We put her up to 5oz a few weeks ago. Initially she demanded a bottle every couple of hrs (although didnt always finish it). Now she goes a minimum of 4hrs between feeds and is still on 5oz. According to the tin she is due to move up to 6oz this weekend but she still seems happy. I'm sure ur LO's feeding will calm soon too x

Feed her what she wants, my LO was taking 5 oz every 2 hours at that age. And remember its only a guide what it says on the tub, all babies are different and will drink more or less than what it states. My LO never followed it

Ignore the tub!
When my LO was 3 weeks he was also on 5oz every 3 hours and he's putting on weight steadily

Do as you baby wants hun. She obviously needs it. My little man is 5 weeks ans is on 5oz n has been for 2weeks now.
