FTM here and struggling to know if I'm over feeding my little one or not.. GP recommended for her to be on 2.7oz for her weight but she was constantly starving.. so we upped her to 3oz and she was still looking for more even after 30-60minutes of letting it go down.. she's now on 4oz every 4 hours - she's 3 weeks old so is this too much? She seems content but also is struggling with acid reflux and the last few days she has been quite unsettled especially through the nights.. she's on SMA pro but wondering whether I need to try an alternative? Any advice would be greatly received!

Our 2 week old is on C&G first infant milk formula and we feed 4oz every 3-4hrs, but in the evening when she likes ti cluster feed we can feed 1-4oz anywhere from every 1-4hrs so definitely not too much. If baby has had too much they will be sick but health visitor and midwives advised this is normal if they have over stretched stomach and baby will be fine 🙂
If in doubt always go of manufacturer guide on the back at how much to feed, plus you know your baby best!
hope this helps 😋 xx
Thank you so much, definitely helps me out and cuts down the fearnof over feeding!
Because she was an early and small baby I was second guessing whether to go off weight or weeks old but she's certainly been telling me when she's hungry!
Thank you!xx
I’ve always upped the oz if my baby wanted more and ignored the ‘recommended’ amount because every baby is different! My first was on like 5oz bottles by a month old 🤣🤣 but was never sick etc so he was fine, doing the same on my second now x
