Hi Alessandra, that seems like a lot if having a bottle and a large amount is in the bottle? But I could be wrong as my son is EBF so not sure on bottle amounts for this age. i'm quite sure my son never takes a full feed (ie 4 or 5 oz) in a breastfeeding sitting. My son has 3 meals a day (also not a big eater but the foods are high fat) his 1st feed is when he wakes up, then 2nd feed before his first nap. 3rd feed before his 2nd nap, 4th feed before his final nap. Then 5th feed before he goes to bed. He also wakes probably 3 or so times per night 🫠💀 I think it's a lot of feeds for us too actually but it's a comfort thing for him most likely. From what I've read the feeds should be decreasing but im yet to see this

She has 120/150ml per bottle.
So not a big difference compared to your son who has 5 feeds…

Yeh okay maybe that's normal for this age then? Because 120ml doesn't seem that much. I feel like babies who have less are probably sleep trained or night weaned to not feed overnight

yeah, I was also expecting to be decreasing and be more spaced out during the day. I guess she likes little and often. And yeah, during the night might be a comfort thing. She’s also teething. Last night I fell asleep while she was feeding at 4am and wake up at 5am and she’s still latched lol
