Formula milk

Is anyone else’s baby not a huge milk drinker? It’s so disheartening! Some days I can get loads down her and then others she hardly had any. We’ve just done a few days where she’s been having 6oz bottles every 3/4 hours then today she’s back to nearly drinking 4oz at a time 😭

mine is the same - mine is doing a thing where he just drinks about 100 ml /4ish oz every few hours..where before he was actually drinking the right amount. it's like he's snacking on it but refuses to wait till he's fully hungry!

@syl yes exactly that! It’s so frustrating! I went the health visitor today for a general check up and she’s dropped a percentile in her weight but they wasn’t worried as she’s in proportion but it’s still disheartening x

@Nikki oo that'd definitely get me down too, but I'm trying to be less anxious about everything possible in the world lol. I'm due a weight check in a few weeks so let's see, might be the same! Don't worry if they've said baby is still in proportion - it's natural for weight to fluctuate and it wasn't by much!

@syl that’s very true I guess it’s only like us hope you go on okay at your visit x

My 3 month old has anywhere between 2.5-4oz every 3/3.5 hours! Doctor said as long as she’s growing she’s fine and she’s just moving into 3-6 month clothing now 🤷‍♀️

@Jess yeah she’s growing thankfully x

Oh yeh my baby is 16 weeks and he still only has 4oz a time. Only a few times he’s ever drank a whole 5oz . Often only 3oz

@Elle it’s so annoying/stressful isn’t it 🫠 fingers crossed they start to drink more soon x

@Nikki it doesn’t bother me :) I figure he drinks want he needs :) I’ve never seen my baby drink 6oz, I’d eat my hat! Even 5oz has very rarely happened
