8week old formula intake

[EllaWt]

Hello
My 8 week old daughter has started drinking 180ml around 5 times a day (sometimes 6) . She is only 4.3kg... am I overfeeding her?

I would say that sounds about normal. Is she gaining weight ok? Lots of wet nappies and regularly dirty ones?

As long as you're not pushing her to finish a bottle and feeding on demand, it should be ok.

How is she doing in her centiles?

As a rough guide, she should be taking around 150-180mls per kg per day. What she's taking is a bit more than that, but as long as she is not vomiting or uncomfortable after feeds then she should be ok.

She's on the 9th percentile

If she's only on the 9th I really wouldn't worry. She's having a little more than the recommended amount but babies can alter there centile and then stay in it. Our DD was born around the 75 then moved down to the 50 and had stayed there fir years.
