little but often feeding
Iv had alot of problems with feeding. I have had to change my formula brand a few times since breaast feeding didnt work out.
My baby is 7 weeks old today. Im awre its still early days but he seems to feed so iratically
On a normal day he roughly feeds
5-6am 3oz
8am 3oz
10am 3oz
1pm 5oz
4pm 5oz
6pm 2oz
8pm 2oz
9pm 2oz
10-11pm 4oz
2-3am 3oz
then back to 5-6am
Does this sound normal for a small baby. Im worried coz he feeds so often his stomach doesnt get time to rest and he is sick quite often too. He does go slightly longer if Im out but only 30mins or so.
Is anyone else in a simular boat or has been? Does it get better or do I have to do something myself to get him into a beter routine
Thanks

I have posted for immense as well. You may want to try medium flow teats in case baby is giving up because of wind and getting tired of sucking. My little one went onto medium flow at 6 weeks on suggestion of health visitor because she was sicky and windy. Also try to delay feeds by giving 1-2oz of cool boiled water until a 4 hour feed pattern is established.
Also I switched to Aptamil easy digest about three weeks ago as my little one was being quite sick right up until her next feed. This has been much better as its heavier-has potato starch in it. I was using SMA Gold b4. I also use Infacol before each feed.
My little one is really settled no at 11 weeks (hope I'm not tempting fate). She sleeps 7p.m til 6a.m and has 4 x 6fl oz during the day.
Good luck
