Hi, I was just looking for some opinions/advise really
I have a 7wk old, when he was 18 days old HV was round and said as he was weighing 9lbs, we should up his ounces from 3 every 3hrs to 4 every 4hrs. We tried doing this for a couple of days, but the times he did take 4oz he would then be sick. He seems perfectly happy on 3oz approx every 3 hrs however this week, he has started to sleep longer through the night and sometimes misses a feed (probably would miss 2 if I didn't wake him)
we are worried he isn't getting enough so again tried upping his ozs to 4 and again it hasn't worked.
What do people suggest?
we are using Cow and Gate formula, it says on the side that once baby is 2 months old/11 lbs they "should" be having 5 lots of 6oz in 24 hrs
