Hi all, I just need some advice on ways to encourage 4month ds to drink more formula, he currently has 4 x 8oz bottles, sometimes only takes 5-6oz, sometimes takes the whole 8, I am worried the times he only takes 5-6oz he will not get enough to sustain good weight gain, he has a bottle at 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm. I have tried to dream feed but he just goes into melt down if he wakes up and doesn't drink any. He stirs in the night looking for his dummy, I have tried to feed him earlier 4-5am, he only has approx 2oz because he is still tired.
i must add he suffered when newborn with silent reflux and still has gavison in his bottles.
