hi..I'm a new mum so feeling a little out of my depth! I begun bf and then we had to do mixed feeding as I was having problems with pain. we then moved on to mix feeding for a few weeks and now I am feeding him just formula. since being on formula the gaps between feedings vary greatly sometimes its an hour sometimes its four. they are very unpredictable. since 2 pm yesterday his feeds have been regularly spaced out at around 3.5 and 4 hr intervals so i thought we may have turned a corner but then he has just wanted to be fed again an hour after the start of the previous feed. people who I know who ff have said I'm feeding him too much and he should be feeding every four hours but when he's showing the hunger signs what else are you supposed to do? at a bit of a loss really. I can't be the only one to have experienced this and if this is just how somee babies can be then thats fine. I suppose I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks
