I just gave 150mls aptamil and she seems still hungry!! 150mls is guidance on the aptamil box per feed, what would you do? I was breast feeding with 1 bottle at nite and she always was satisfied with that but 2 mornings in a row she seems hungry and crying still after the bottle.... Do I give her more? How much?

Anyone?? Also when u bottle feeding do u give breaks in between? I am doing so as advised by HV to slow her down and get her brain to realise if she is full instead of guzzling it down..... When I break obviously she cries as I try wind her in between

Maybe she is unsettled after 150 ml because she still wants to suck and be close to you....you could put her to the breast then, and see what happens.

Make up a bit more, say 160 or 170, then she can take it if she wants it. I always make our bottles with a little more in than I know DD will eat, just in case she is exceptionally hungry.

Better that than having to make up another bottle!
