How often and how many bottles does you lo have a day ?
Hi, Archie is 12wks old and since about 1 or 2wks old he's been fed every 4hrs. A midwife encouraged us to do this due to his reflux. Although it is sometimes tough getting him to last 4hrs between feeds and often a bit of crying.
He has 5 7oz bottles a day and this includes the bottle he has during the night.
But, every book I read about routine and sleeping through the night (this is my next challenge) Says feed every 3hrs, but this would mean he would now be getting 6 bottles a day (including night feed). Thought I was supposed to be getting him to drop a bottle not add one !
But if I feed him more during the day will be sleep better at night ? Oh I don't know, so confused.
What do you do ? Thanks, Suz x

Gabe is now nearly 8 months and he goes 3.5 to 4 hours and has 4 bottles a day, 5 if he's up late. The HV kept telling me he should be on no more than 20oz a day (is on about 28) but when I tried dropping it to that, his nappies were so dry & he was constipated! I feed on demand now would never do otherwise xx
routine??
