Amount of formula given

My wee one was also taking 'too much' but it seems to have calmed down now and evened itself out. I think it was maybe just a stage or growth spurt.

My LB is also drinking 6oz a time and he has a 7oz bottle before bed. He has always had “too much” but he’s a very content baby! And he doesn’t sick any of it up which I assume he would do if I was over feeding him. He’s a very hungry baby!

Whsts the weight situation? Gaining well or too much too soon?bHow old is your little one? Today health visitor said for my 12 week old no more than 28oz - but she only has 20-24oz as I was worried she wasn’t having enough. But she’s gaining weight perfectly xx

I wouldn't worrie. As long as there not bringing it back up he's fine. My 13 week old is on 8oz bottles. Sometimes take an extra 4. I let my boy tell me when he's done and don't restrict how much he has. But he was a big boy from birth

11 and a half weeks, born a lot smaller than expected 2nd centile (placenta problems) and from breastfeeding has gone up to 24th centile, I haven't weighed him since switching to formula. He's not been sick or anything but obviously when he's been breastfeeding I've had no idea "how much" he's had

Of course! You can get forumla for hungrier babies it might be worth looking into that?? As 40oz seems very excessive but of course if baby is hungry you’re going to feed isn’t it so I would just continue giving botrle, but if you know little one smashed 6ish an hour ago and they show feeding queues I’d cwtch up with a dummie first and see if that settles little one before opting for a bottle. 6oz every 3-4 hours can be quite normal at this age it seems xxx

I wouldn’t go by what google said if he’s keeping it down and hes gain weight at a good pace to his centile it’s okay. On the tin it says my baby should be on 6oz but she will only stomach 4/5oz. Its an estimate so wouldn’t worry too much, you can get hungry baby formula but I would maybe just ask first just incase
