9 week old bottle fed baby eating every 2.5 to 3 hours

Hello,

I slowly switched my BF baby to bottles in the last 2 weeks and have been trying to get him to space out his feeds but he just isn't happy to do this! He has around 4 to 5 oz every 2.5 to 3 hours.

He is taking Aptamil Colic formula which has been great for his colic and reflux, we have seen massive improvements but he really doesn't seem to want to wait the recommended 4 hours for a feed. I'm just giving him what he wants at the moment, should I be concerned that I am overfeeding him?

He was a small baby, 9th percentile,and now he is formula feeding he seems to be gaining weight and filling out, at 9 weeks he is finally growing out of newborn clothes!

He is so much happier, should I just ignore the schedule?

Sounds normal to me - my ds didnt go to 4 hourly feeding till he was around 4 months old. You are still supposed to demand feed with formula so dont worry too much about timings
