how many hours in between?
hi lovely ladies!
i'm trying to up wade's feed at the moment to 6oz his 4month 2days now he managed to take to lots
yesterday ok he brought a little bit up but i'm going to try to sick with it so his little belly gets use to it
cause i think he really should be on a bit more now. even though he goes 4hrs on 5oz
so what i need to know with 6oz should he go longer in between meals now like 5hrs? or still the same 4hrs..
if any one else's bubs is on 6oz or anyone can tell me that would be gr8

he always drains his bottles doesn't cry for more though and his last feed at night he takes 7oz most of the time.

i gave him 6oz this morning and now he has gone over 5hrs (bear in mind i'm 2hrs ahead of you) its 12.20 here now.
i'll stick to 5oz see how it goes thanks for ur help.
i'm on my own at out only u girls to talk to . x
I always found with my first if LO is downing all bottle every feed then up the feed another oz then if the lo wants more they will take it, if not they will leave it and pull back off the teat but it will also ensure lo is not taking in too much air creatring more wind. Dont worry too much about babies weight not every child will be on the higher side of the chart remember its based on average children (selection basis over a period of time).
Go with your instinct and follow your babies lead you sound like your doing really well to have him sleep that long. My 21/2 yr old daughter is only just sleeping through and shes always been on the 99th centile.
Good Luck

if wade is finishing 5oz each time, make 6oz and let if have as much as he wants. if he knows it's there he will drink it.
hope this helps. good luck
