Formula - night feeds

Is anyone else’s formula fed baby still wanting a feed in the night every 3 hours??? I know breastfeed babies want feeding regularly but my boy has 5, 6oz bottles in the day and is still wanting 2 or 3 in the night. Just seems excessive?

My little girl has 1 feed a night now x

Have you tried upping to 7oz? Just a thought may keep them fuller for longer. Could be a growth spurt or just a hungrier baby.

yes my little girl is still waking every 3 hours 😩 literally feel like ive tried everything!! really starting to struggle with lack of sleep especially being a single mum 🥲🫠 xx

Have you thought about weaning? My daughter sleeps 12 hours, wakes at 8am for a bottle 6oz, porridge at 10am, bottle at 12ish, food at 2, bottle at 4, supper at 6 then last bottle at 8pm xx

Yes I bottle feed and he wakes still during night for bottles. Sometimes just one but most time it’s 2 xx

My little guy wakes twice for a feed (once if we are lucky) we are going into week 4 of weaning and it hasn’t caused him to drop the night feeds. I think it’s still considered normal at this age though it would be great if they slept the night through

My girl wakens every 3 hours for a bottle 😴 She would take 7oz every time but trying to reduce it.
