My 4 week old is a hungry little man. He has been taking 4oz bottles every three hours for the past five days or so and really downing every feed and then looking for more.
HV suggested I try him on a 5oz bottle at the beginning and end of the day which I did but he loved his 5oz bottles so much that he wants them at every feed which I have started doing but he STILL only just manages to go 4 hours between feeds (including nights) before he is screaming for more again!
I am using SMA Gold (if LTH about - I know you said you didn't rate it but I persevered as HV suggested I not swap brands). Could it be I need to use hungry baby milk OR a different brand? I just realy don't want to over feed him!!
I just don't see how he id ever going to sleep through (I'm not expecting him to just yet but was hoping so in the next few weeks as he does feed well) as he is never satisfied! Seriously debating giving him sausage and chips with his bottle
Ay advice greatly appreciated.
