My little one has been doing 3 hourly feeds from first bottle being at 7am, I’ve noticed now though that sometimes she isn’t hungry enough or actually asleep at the times I’d normally feed her. Just curious if any other fully formula fed mammas had a routine with the bottles that has now changed and if so what?

Same! We were doing feeds at 7,10,1,4,7 & 10. We dropped the 10pm feed at 3 months as we were waking her up for it & she was only taking 1oz. For the last 2 weeks she’s only been having 3-4oz where she was having 7oz at each feed. I went to see the infant feeding team who said it wasn’t a concern if she was still gaining weight & happy which she is. They said to space the feeds out longer so we’ve added half an hour extra in between feeds

8am 11am, 2pm 5pm sometimes 7pm but don’t always want that one, and there 8oz bottles
she has porridge at 10am and puree at 4pm too tho

7oz roughly every 4 hours. This length of time between has definately increased for us but put that down to her drinking full 7ozers x

7oz roughly every 4 hours (so 4 bottles a day) then currently a 3oz one about 3:30am x

We are still on roughly 2 hours sometimes 3, she’s having 6oz pretty much every feed. Last bottle around 18:30 then sleeps all night until 8am then has a 7oz bottle to kick off her day. Feels like she’s eating loads
Thanks everyone!! Amazing how they all drink so much mine is still only on 4/5oz and barely finishes them! I might try and up the formula and stretch out the hours if she will let me xx

We have been making x5 of 210ml (I think around 7.7oz?) a day for a while now. Every 3 hours roughly from around 8:30am, though recently his 9:30pm bottle has moved to 8:30pm as his bed time is naturally creeping forwards. He does not finish every bottle so amounts range between 160-210ml. The morning bottle in particular appears to be on the lower side!

Interesting, I have been doing the 150 mls, he feeds roughly every 3 hrs unless he does a big sleep/ nap, he has an extra bottle before bed like now and then sleeps til 5 am ish a bottle then I get him when needed that day and adjust the time given based on when he woke in the night.. He will up scoops this week, we don't have a set routine yet, yeah he wont finish the 150 ml 5 oz at 4-5 am
Will be interesting now to spread feeds out more
Started harvesting my colostrum last night. I managed to get 1ml from one breast (could’ve collected more but as it was my first time I didn’t want to overdo it) but when I went to collect from the other breast I got nothing, only a little drop. Is it normal to get more colostrum in one breast than the other?

Is this normal for the Maxi Cosi Pebble 360 car seat to rattle like this? The base is sturdy and all green tabs are showing, it’s just the car seat that feels loose!

Sorry if this has come up before, I tried to search.
Has anyone successfully bought products from the offers section on the Emmas Diary website?
Where there are links to other stores with heavy discounts like 60%-90% off.
Seems too good to be true but Emma's Diary bags are legit (albeit full of marketing)
Im specifically looking at a product from The Nursery Store.
Thanks!
