Amount and time between feeds

My baby girl is on 7oz but is starting to be hungry again much quicker between feeds? If I increase the feed to 8oz she either doesn’t finish it or gets a bit sicky. What’s everyone else on??

It may just be a growth spurt. They do this sometimes My little goes 4-5 hours but he's breast fed so it digests faster. Sometimes he goes through patches where he wants feeding every 3

@Louise oh yeah I didn’t even think of this!!

I could’ve written this myself! She has 5x 7oz a day. So every 3 hours now. She used to go 4 hours between feeds. I tried 8oz and she was spitting up a lot more. She would take the first bottle well but then only drink 3/4 oz in every other bottle. I’m going to start weaning next week though as she turns 6 months so I think I’ll try the 8oz 4 times a day again this week.

EBF here so still going every 2-3 hours during the day

My little one goes 3-4 hours in between feeds and has 7oz. Sometimes she doesn’t even tell me she’s ready for a feed, I just have to feed her and she finishes it all 🙈 it’s a weird time right now

Such a weird time! She used to go 4 hours or so but now she’s back to like 2 hours on the dot 😂. I’ve tried to leave her a bit longer but she’s too unsettled. She has been up on her hands and knees today as if she’s about to crawl so maybe she’s burning lots of energy learning that 😂😂 I’m testing seed size food tastes this week. She’s only 5 months and 1 week but she knows what she’s doing when she gets it near her mouth. Only scrambled egg and mash she’s tried but seems very eager to eat when I put the spoon near her mouth! 😂😂
