My 10 week old DS was a big baby when he was born at 10lb 6oz, he is now roughly about 12lb 5oz. He sleeps through the night and has 4 feeds of 8.5oz a day, I'm worried that he is having too much (if this is possible) as when I asked the HV advice she told me to basically stop force feeding him which I really am not doing. The reason is he was not satisfied and my MW (before I saw the HV) told me when he started draining bottles to add an extra half an ounce which is what I have been doing. He is starting to seem a bit unhappy after feeds again and I'm wondering if he will soon have 9oz!!
Has anyone else had experience with feeding bigger babies...the guidelines for an 'average weight baby' aren't helping!!!
