5mth old feeding more than wen he was a newborn - is this normal?

[poopeeplops]

I have a 5 month old and he is on bottle feeds, Aptamil first baby and he has 6oz every 2hrs, he was going longer but seems to lately want it more often sometimes every 90mins, how could this be, i thought as they get older they get to a 4hr feeding habit????!!!

Ive tried giving more in a feed so instead of 180ml i have given 200mls and he just leaves it and sometimes he wont even have the 180mls. I have started givin him rusk in the breakfast feed with a bottle of 4oz and that works but he just wants more food - little and often!! Really frustrating now as i cant do anything as i dont know wen he will want a feed again, anyone got any advice - i thought they fed less and spread out more as they got older?!!

I had this, on unofficial advice I started weaning...it's made no difference and at 6months LO wants a feed every 2 hrs at night. Tbh I think it's a prolonged growth spurt (6weeks and counting).

Its probably a growth spurt. I've never managed to get my DS on to 4 hourly feeds because he never wants enough milk to keep him going that long.

I started weaning at 5 1/2 weeks and hardly any of my friends waited the full 6 months. The 6 month thing is only a guideline anyway.
