im a first time mum, my 4 week old baby boy (8lb 9.5 when born) is currently finishing (mostly every time) 6oz bottles. he feeds 4/5 times a day with spaces of 4-6 hours, im just asking for advice if this is okay for a 4 week old? and if he is finishing the bottle should i offer a bigger feed? i cant find anything online at all and i know that every baby is different, just want to make sure im not over or under feeding him, i will also add that we are doing paced feeding and stop 2/3 times for a burp break, he is currently 4.85 kg and was 3.9kg when he was born, in his red book he is between the 50th and 75th centile

Advice is to pace feed, which you are doing and to feed on demand so as much as they want and when they want. If he finish the bottle then you should be offering more. In terms of centiles, the important thing is he continues to follow his curve.
