My LO is only 3 weeks tomorrow and is up to 6 ounces per feed. If your baby is taking it and not sick I would say its fine! Ll babies are different! He would stop drinking if he didn't want it x
My baby is 4 weeks tomorrow and has 4oz 2-3 hourly (mostly 2 hourly), we tried upping to 5oz but she was throwing it back up! If he takes it let him have it, let him take the lead xx
Thank you so much everyone ☺️
Every baby is different so it’s hard to stick to guidelines and they are just guidelines after all not the rules. If your baby is hungry then feed him 😊 Honestly don’t be afraid of over feeding xx
My LO is 4 weeks on Wednesday and we make her 6oz which she drinks most of every 4 hours or just less. The HV and Midwife said if she didn’t want it or couldn’t handle the extra milk she would just vomit so she won’t be being over fed x
As long as he’s sat up when feeding and you aren’t over filling the teat, then he will stop if he doesn’t want it. We were on 5oz at 4 weeks too! Be lead by them - you’ve got this!
