Subject : checking right amount of bottles

Hi

I am sure all is ok but I am beginning to doubt myself, my LO is 4 months old and is on a four hour routine as follows approx give or take half hour:

7am 7oz

11am 6oz

3pm 60z

7pm 7oz

10.30pm 6oz (she only takes about 4oz)

I am worried she is not feeding enough and the 10.30pm feed should be a dream feed and not an actual feed so should I be adding another feed somewhere in the day. She is putting on wait and is happy to go to the 4 hours but I feel I am doing something wrong

can anyone reassure me please

it sounds fine to me - as long as she's putting on weight and is sleeping well, then I wouldn't worry. My dd stopped waking in the night for feeds at 3 months.

I wouldn't worry if she is fine in weight gain, healthy and having wet and dirty nappies! My lo has only taken about 24oz a day since that sort of age and she is still following the 75th centile!
