Hi,
My baby boy currently drinks 5.5 ounces (160ml) in each bottle he drinks. He drinks approx. 7 a day, every 3 hours (or sometimes every 2 or 4 hours). At night he has a last feed at 11pm, wakes a 2pm and then 5pm and then has his first morning feed at 8am. He is a big boy (approx. 16lbs) and is quite a 'long, stocky' baby (!).
I have no idea if this is normal? He is demanding less milk now, he used to drink every 2 hours (120ml). He has reflux and takes baby gaviscon for this. I would like to cut out the 2am feed if possible. He is a very physical baby, constantly wiggles! Does the above sound OK or am I overfeeding him? He goes mad if you ignore any pleas for milk!!!
