Hi!

I have a 14 week old baby boy who weighs 14lb. I’m looking for some advice please for his feeding as I’m a first time mum.

He currently has 30oz a day of Aptamil formula. This is 6 feeds of 5oz. His last feed is around midnight and then he sleeps until 8am. I find myself getting stressed and a bit obsessed about getting the feeds in and find myself constantly clock watching working out timings to get them all in. I would like to bring bed time forward so I can go to bed earlier but then if I don’t do last feed I’m worried that 25oz won’t be enough for him?

When he was born he was very colicky, struggled to burp and we had issues with feeding which is why I have kept him on 5oz feeds as he stomach can cope with that. I’m wondering whether to offer him more oz and then have less feeds throughout the day?

any advice would be much appreciated!

Thank you.

When was the last time you went up an ounce? If you haven't got a while it might be worth trying to see if he copes?

If he's having 30 floz I guess he's currently 12 lb?

And if you want to bring bedtime earlier but still want to feed in the evening, could you try a dream feed?
