How many oz at nighttime?

Sorry if this is a silly question! When you increase the oz in a bottle, do you also increase them in the night feed? I don’t know if I should either

A) keep the night feed smaller so as to not increase the appetite for night feeds

B) increase the bottle size in line with the others so I don’t get woken up for another feed.

Any opinions welcome!

Thank you

If baby is emptying the night time bottle as it is now then I would increase it so that you know they are satisfied. If not then I would leave it as it is. I wouldn't worry too much about baby wanting more at night if you do give more, I never experienced that issue. How old is baby?

If they drain a bottle, offer more. They should always be turning the last bit down. Don't get hung up on amounts, be led by your baby.

They’re 16 weeks old. Now going to bed earlier but wanting 2 bottles a night at 10ish and 3ish. Only taking 4oz and really want to encourage more to be taken because it seems to be a small amount but they won’t take it!

4oz is fine at that age, they will let you know when they need more as mentioned above they will drain their bottles.
