Hi all
Looking for a bit of advice about how much I am mixed feeding.
My 11 week old DS has 5 formula feeds a day, these are all 4 oz feeds- these generally are at 9am, 12.30pm, 4pm, 7pm and 11pm.
I then BF on demand throughout the day whenever he seems hungry and he only gets BF in the night when he wakes.
I really don't want to increase the formula, he is happy and putting on weight. I keep trying to decrease the formula, I would ideally like to cut down to two or three bottles a day. But he isn't having any of it and screams like a banshee if I only offer breast. Including his bottles he is feeding pretty much every two hours- is this ok? Is he getting enough breast milk?
Also he sleeps well from 7.30ish to 6am with a final bottle that we wake him up for. When would anyone suggest we could try dropping the late night feed? I am scared we will ruin his good sleeping if we start messing with it!
Thanks
