Bottle feeding new mum

[Catherine89york]

I'm an over thinking and just had a new baby 1 week old.. I know the rules for feeding newborn and at night but I know they get bigger there needs change.

Can any one help with how you feed child as they grow order and night routine they use as any information for later on will be great.. justvso I can be ready as I over worry 😟 new mum here xx

I'm not sure what you're asking really but I didn't want to read and run.

I now have a 7 (nearly 8 month old) who is well on to solid food. She has 3-4 milk feeds a day (after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner and/or before bed). We make sure she has at least 18oz of milk a day.

When she was purely on milk, I bottle fed on demand. When she was tiny it was probably every two hours and moved to every 4 hours as she began to take more milk with each feed.

Let your baby guide you. They all have different appetites and that varies on a daily basis, especially as your child grows and encounters things like teething. As long as your baby is growing, gaining an appropriate amount of weight and overall happy and healthy then you're doing well

I should add that the guide is to always have about an ounce of milk left after they've finished their feed. This is to make sure you've fully quenched their thirst/hunger!
