Apparently my 15 week old is gaining weight too quickly. He was born on the 25th percentile and he's now 7.6 kg so just below the 91st percentile.
I've been offering him milk whenever he seems to want it, but have been told to cut back. We've never really kept track of how much he's taking or how often, just fed on demand, and I'm not sure how much formula we should be aiming for?
The guides on the bottle don't seem to help as they assume a baby weighing 7.6kg is a lot older so having fewer feeds per day and eating some solids.
Any advice/experience? HVs also say we should be offering hungry milk instead of normal milk so he goes longer between feeds but I've heard that can cause constipation (which he's had trouble with anyway) so am not that keen!
