dd2 is almost 9 weeks. until recently she was taking about 4 oz 4 hourly.

she started sleeping 7-7 and was much more hungry through the day. she was taking 5-6oz 4 hourly. tried to dream feed at various times but she flat refused it.

last 3 days she is draining 6 oz bottles but wants another less than 2 hours later. i've tried giving more but she wont have it.

she wont be soothed with a dummy and even if i give water she still wants milk after.

she was up 3 times last night wanting a feed and took about 9 oz in total.

she had 37oz in 24 hours.

she weighed 11lb 1oz on monday.

i'm happy to feed on demand but i'm concerned about the amount.

My grandson is 10 weeks and just over 12lb,he is taking 6/7oz.he doesnt always last the 4 hours,so she feeds him maybe after 3 and a half hours.

she changed his milk to hungrier baby,maybe that would help.

did the hungry baby milk make a difference? i'm tempted to ty it.
