Needing another bottle so soon? Also in BIJ
Hi girls,
Quite a few times over the past week and a half my little one who is now 4 1/2 weeks has 5 oz around 5.30-6 pm and has a little doze then wakes up crying about 30 mins later displaying hunger signs. Tonight he fed at 5.30, woke at 6.15 and I managed to hold him off (plus had to make feed) until 7. Drank the whole 5oz over 45 mins and was asleep by 8. He's finished all his feeds today (4-5oz every 4 hrs!)
Last nite he fed at 6 and I got a bottle ready for 7.30 just in case and he only took 1oz so no idea what is going on!
Anyone else had a similar problem? I've no idea how his little tummy takes it!

have you tried upping his normal bottle, it may be he just needs that little bit extra, when LO use to drain his bottle we use to make the next with an extra oz
he may be going through a growth spurt as there are quite a few in the first months x
Probably cluster feeding in the evening (again something my lo did alot!) and a combination of a growth spurt - all sounds quite normal to me xx
I'll see how we go tonight, hopefully just a growth spurt and we'll settle into more of a regular feeding routine soon! X
