My baby is 6 weeks and has been taking 5 ounce bottles every 3-4 hours since she was 2 weeks old but is starting to look for more. Is anyone else’s baby this age taking 5+ ounces? I’m scared to put her up incase it’s too much but she’s constantly hungry

One of my twins was the same and HV said it was fine my other twin is only taking between 3/4 overfeeding will make her sick even try 6 for next few feeds see how she gets on💓xx

Thank you! I was thinking even maybe 6 in morning and 6 at night because she’s draining every bottle and looking for more 🥲 HV isn’t keen but I can’t have her hungry 🩷xx

At the end of the day you know your baby better than your health visitor does you do what you need to do for your baby that’s the way I think of it, it’s trial and error with babies 💕xx
