How many oz's at 6 weeks?! Also in Bottlefeeding....
in Baby
Hello!
My LO is 6 weeks on weds and feeds every 3/4 hours. I offer her 4oz's each feed, however during the night she will normally only take 2'ish oz's & fall asleep on the bottle. She seems happy with this and goes the normal time between feeds. She has been on 4oz bottles for 2 weeks now, & I was wondering if she should be on more? She seems content after feeds etc & sleeps well (most of the time!) During the day, she will normally finish 4oz's, but fall asleep half way through but is easily woken with some burping!! She is gaining weight & is happy & healthy.
Thanks in advance

I can't remember how much James took at that age. But if most of the bottles are emptied during the day, just go up an ounce. I always went by James's lead. HTH. xx
I was advised to gauge feeds by baby's weight, as opposed to age. My HV suggests 2.5oz for every lb of weight i.e. offer a 10lb baby 25oz in a 24 hour period.
Hope that helps )
My ds is 7 weeks and taking 5oz every 3 hours xx
