5 and a bit month old currently has feeds every 3 hrs of about 5-6 oz and has 6 bottles a day. Done this since always although the amount has increased.
Should I be aiming for 4 hourly feeds? How does that work In the sense that she will only then have 4 bottles a day, 5 if I do a dream feed, so she would have less milk if only has 5-6 oz still or would she start to take more at each feed? I think she may go 4 hourly possibly as she doesn't necessarily cry for feeds I just stuck to what we did and she mostly takes it too, sometimes she only takes 4oz in morning which baffles me as she hasn't had milk since the previous nights Dreamfeed.
I'm so confused about it and unfortunately my HV isn't that helpful and to be honest last time i went she was so distracted that I felt she didn't listen to me. Any help/ advice be appreciated
