Is this enough for my nearly 5 month old baby?

Well she's 4 1/2 months old and has

7.00am-8.00am 8 oz feed.

11.00am (ish) 5-7 oz

3.30pm 7 oz (although today shes asleep so it will be her bedtime feed now as this one will be missed out.

6.00pm (bedtime)5-7oz

then it starts again at 7.00am.

We have tried bottles in between but it will mess her up taking big feeds, she dosent seem to want to bed fed every 3 hours peferring to go longer and feeed bigger.

It can be anything from 5oz -7oz mainly with the biggest feed in the morning.

Does this sound enough.

Hubby wants to wean her but I've said shes no where near weaning, she dosent take enough formula yet and all her goodness is in the milk so I will wait til shes ready.

I see no problems with this. Does she wake in the night for a feed? my LO goes 4 hours sometimes longer between feeds. If she was hungry she would let you know.

No she dosent wake in the night going to bed at 6.00pm and waking at 5.30-6.00am.

she as just had her late 3.00pm feed, but only had 5 oz, that will be it now, she will go to bed at 6.00pm without taking any more milk.

Thanks for the reply jus me worrying over nothing I suppose

My DD is 4.5 months and has only 3.5oz at each feed most of the time. She has 6 feeds a day tho but it still works out less . Her twin bro has 4 x 9ish oz feeds.
