Should he still be feeding this often?

[Sarah10]

Hi, i'm just wondering if jayden's feeds are normal!
He has always been a hungry baby (on hungry milk) from newborn he fed 2-3oz every 1-2 hours day and night, that stayed the same only by 6-7 weeks he started having 6oz going 2 hours between feeds day and night. Now he is 22 weeks and has 6-7oz every 2.5-3 hours, alot of babies i hear go around 4 hours and the hv's told me he should be too..
His feeds are like this (not set times but usually as he wants it)

6:30am 7oz
9am 6oz
11:30am 7oz
2pm - 7oz
4pm - 7oz
6pm - 7oz
2am - 7oz (drinks it within ten mins, acts like he hasn't fed for a week!)

He can't tolerate anymore than 6-7oz per feed, as he has reflux so he brings back alot as it is. So i'm just wondering if it's normal? We tried him on pureed veg but he went completely the opposite, was only taking 2oz per feed after

Thanks

hiya hun

has he ever been on staydown milk for his reflux? I only ask cos chester didn't bring any feed back when he was on it and seemed more satisfied on it?

Hey we tried it, but we didn't get on very well with it, it seemed to clump together in the water (when water was in the fridge) also it got stuck in the teat, we were using TT CTN bottle with size 2 teats x

yeah it is a bit of a pain in the bum - you've gotta roll it for ages and ages

he always drank less of it than the normal stuff thats why i wondered.

thing is everyone says give them s much as they want then others say try and make them go 4 hours. sorry hun hope someone knows but he just loves his milk lol

I think he does his first feed 30mins after birth he drank 3oz, which i think thats considered alot for a newborn! Somedays he drinks less than others as i think his teeth are upsetting him, thats usually when he wants 2 feeds at night lol x

Sounds like my LO now, though he's a bit younger, the only diffeerence that he doesnt wake at night. He has 6oz every 2hr (sometimes 1.5hr) Ive tried upping the oz but like yours he sicks with anymore xx
