Too much milk?

The health visitor is always baffling me. If your baby sleeps through the night and eats well during the day consider yourself lucky and don’t wake them up. At this age my GP told me that as long as they have their intake in 24 hours they can sleep a long stretch mine washing about 8 hours I think

Ignore the health visitor that just seems ridiculous! My LO was always a super hungry baby (she was formula fed too) and we were on 8oz bottles by then too! How often is she having a bottle through the day? When my LO started sleeping through we had to go for a bottle every 2-3 hours instead of 3-4 because that's just what she wanted. We also when she was about 4.5 months had to start giving her a couple of spoonfuls of (quite runny) baby rice in the morning as she would wake up starving and we found she just wanted a ton of milk in the morning, maybe to catch up 🤷‍♀️ That really helped us but was also a no from the health visitor. You kind of have to follow you gut with this one, if you think she's hungry feed her. For some babies 8oz would be too much but for others it's a perfect amount 🤷‍♀️ My LO is now 16 months and still has 9oz of cows milk in the morning and at bedtime and 5oz at nap time although we are trying to cut that out 😅 3 meals a day and two snacks.

My advice is make the most of it 😂 my baby was doing this at 3 months old, he would sleep in his next to me 9/10 hours, 7pm-4/5am and boy I miss those days 🤣 he now wakes typically at 12am and 4am and we've ended up cosleeping (but thats due to eczema so probably just built a habit and unrelated to the feeding)

Follow your baby, sounds like she’s just taking her calories during the day to allow for sleep x

I would follow her lead! My baby at the same age was only having about 24oz a day and following her growth curve! But at 4.5 months my son was downing 7oz-8oz 5 times a day! Every baby is different! The fact your baby is following their growth curve shows you’re doing a brilliant job!
