My daughter is almost 10 weeks old. We are bottle-feeding her (formula and breast milk) as she doesn't take milk well from me.
I was exclusively breast-feeding at first and she never recovered her birth weight until we started giving her bottles. At that time she was in the 25th percentile height and weight-wise but is now in the 75th percentile height and weight-wise. The doctor is happy with her weight and height but says we need to be giving her about 6 meals of 120ml a day (i.e. don't over-feed).
Since she only wakes once in the night, this works out at a bottle every 3 hours or so during the day. My daughter, however, screams every 2 hours after a feed. We assume she is hungry as nothing else really settles her (although she can be distracted, this doesn't last long). We have tried giving her water and camomile in a bottle and she drinks this but still screams (for milk). She also doesn't want to drink a whole bottle at each feed - she is normally happy with less and we don't force her to eat more.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips for spacing out feeds? Any advice appreciated! Thanks.
