how much ebm?

I'm really struggling to get grace to take a proper feed from a bottle. She will have 3-4oz but then will want to bf 15-20 mins later but if we try to get her to take another oz or 2 from the bottle she often won't take it. We've only had one night where she's taken a full 5oz and gone to sleep.

How much ebm (or formula) are you giving your LOs?

I'm really longing to get into more of a feeding routine now. Grace is still very demanding - usually wanting 3 or even 4 10 min feeds per session which can take an hour and a half or more and then will only wait a max of 2 hours from the end of one feeding session to the beginning of the next. Ironically the only time she'll go a bit longer is in the middle of the day as she'll often have a long nap from 10.30ish to about 2.30/3ish but the rest of the day or night she's much more demanding.




Any tips or advice??
