My dd (2 weeks tomorrow) is a bit of a sleepy feeder, falls asleep at the breast a lot so I'm trying to keep her awake with nappy changes etc to take more.
At night, dh gives her a bottle at 11pm, ebm if I've managed to express any, or formula if not or if I haven't managed much. (Ideally I'd like it to be all ebm) HOWEVER last night my little gutsy dd took the 2oz I'd managed to express, plus 3oz of formula (which tbh really makes 4oz of formula with the 3oz of water and 3 scoops of powder.)
Is this okay???? 5 - 6 oz of milk seems soooo much for such a diddy baby! She's sort of sleeping through, dh put her down around 12.30, and she woke me at 6 for a feed, although usually she sleeps till 7. I don't want to stuff her though, ds is on the chunky side and I don't want her to be! It just seems so much milk.
