Mummy's FF - How much and what times are your LO feeding? 3months ish/12lb


Layla last 2 days has slept till 6.30/7am - so has dropped a feed.
Just moved her to 6oz, so now feeding (probably change again soon but...)

7am, 11am, 3.15ish and 7.15ish. 6x4 = 24oz

She was on 5oz the other day but 5 bottles as was waking 6am, then 10, 2, 6 and topup at 8,30. so 25oz ish. I cant top up at 8.30 an hour after last one, and she sleeps form 8.30-9pm

This seem enough? Everyone elses baba's seem to be on way more oz in 24hrs and per bottle than her, but she;s only recently grumbled at 5 - so we moved her up. Dont want to give her 3hourly as 4 is good and she don't take it ver good when it's too soon anyway. topup at 8.30 was hard enough lol she sticks her tongue out! Don't want to wake her after she's gone down either as Im lucky she goes till that long.......

hmmmm. lol, don't know what im asking, cos there's not much i can change! but thought i'd put it here anyway!!!

typing errors everywhere but she's on my lap lol!#

edit - just realised its 7.30 and she's not moaning at me for food again and it's been 4hr 15 snce bottle, she just seems ok lol - so i give it to her anyway

edit 2: she took 4 1/2 and was pushing it out, got her to have thr 6oz , and every burp since comes a teeny bit of sick lol!?

Molly is 12lb, but 6 months. She is having about 18 oz a day but 3 solid meals. She had=s never taken any more than 5oz at a time, and that is rare!

Very rough guide is 1.5-2oz per lb so what you're doing sounds fine - she would let you know if she was hungry! I would also stick with the 4hr routine if she's happy with that.
Hope that helps!

everyone seems to strive to get to 4hourly (that i speak to) and she's happy with it and gives us time to do stuff inbetween! she's fast asleep again anyway, so it must be ok for her, triued to give her more by having 6oz lol and she dropped a bottle instead. 4 bottles for almost 3 months just doesn't seem much !

Chloe is on 4 6oz bottles and one 7oz bottle and sleeps through most nights and Nathan is on 4 8oz bottles and one 9oz bottle and wakes between 4 and 6 lol. They both feed 4 hourly usually between 6 and 7 then 10:30, 2:30, 6:30 and a dreamfeed at about 11.

Theo has 6oz, he only has 4 a day. He sleeps through night too. If they were hungry, I'm sure they would let us know xx

My twins are 3 months and around 11lbs. Smaller twin takes between 4-5oz every 2-3hrs during the day (7am to 5pm) and then has 6oz before bed at 7pm and sleeps through to 7am.
Bigger twin just feeds constantly! She has between 4-8oz depending on time of the day,but early morning and bedtime is when she's most hungry.
All in all,i think they take between 5 and 6 bottles of 7oz milk each.
I can't keep up with them! I confused myself now lol

 

[princess_bump]

i agree with the other ladies, if she was hungry she'd let you no! well done for getting into such a good feeding routine x

Violet has 4x 7oz bottles at 7.30/8am, 12pm, 4pm
Then a 6oz bottle at 8pm followed by 3oz at 11pm.

She did completely drop the 11pm one but my HV said that 12hrs is too long at this age because of dehydration yada yada yada.. So she suggested making the 8pm bottle smaller so she could have a top up just before I go to bed. TBH, it's working great and it's let her sleep in longer in the morning because with just 4bottles in 24hrs she was waking up anywhere from 5.30/6am - never slept in til 8am!

 

[sam*~*louize]

the 7am didnt last long! back to (6 oz) 6.30, 10.30, 2.30, and 5 oz at 6.30pm to leave her a little hungry as it still only gives me 2-2.5hrs between bedtime but she will take 4oz ish for me at the mo.

See how long these times last lol! Thanks girls!
