11 weeks old feeding 5oz every 5 hours

So my LO is 12 weeks in 3 days time, she weighs 11lb 2oz. Recently she's gone from drinking 5oz every 4 hours to 5oz every 5/6 hours. She normally has 1 feed at night however sometimes sleeps through. Depending on how the feeds fall she sometimes has only 4 feeds a day.

She seems happy and content, plenty of wet and dirty nappies. Sleeping good and when she's awake she's very alert. Does this seem like enough to you? How much does your LO drink?

Oh and I should add she's put weight on but dropped a centile, if I try to feed her before the 5 hours so literally screams the place down and only has a couple of oz. I don't think upsetting my baby is worth it. The HV isn't concerned

If putting on weight, is happy, having wet/ dirty nappies and the health visitor is happy then I'd not worry at all over that. Sounds a good amount to be eating to me.

I wouldn’t be worried either based on what you’ve said.
