Subject : How old?How often?How many oz's?

Hi was just wondering how old, how often, and how many oz's everyones lo's were taking please??? Grace is 13weeks old today and is still only on 4oz's sometimes 5 with a struggle every 2-3 hours.She must be getting enough cos shes slept through since she was born,she has a bottle between 8pm and 9pm and sleeps through to antwhere between 5-6 am.I'm just abit worried that she should be drinking abit more than that.Do you think if i changed her teats she would have more?

HIYA
Joey is 8wks on thursday and i make his bottles up as 180ml (6oz i think) every 4hrs pretty much, although if he awake he'll go less and if he sleep he'll go more (if that makes sense)
you could try changing grace's teats - what does she have at the mo? joey has avent 3 hole but he is on the comfort milk which is thicker than normal. does grace fall asleep during her feed? i put a 2 hole on a bottle by accident and joey was whinging - i couldnt work out why until i washed the bottle up!
although i would say if she so settled at night and content and happy then u dont need to worry :)

mia is using tommee tippee medium flow teats now and has been since about 6 weeks.
she takes between 4-6ozs most bottles although on the odd occasion she will only take 2 ozs.
i agree with gem...if she is happy dont worry x

Aimee has 4oz every 4 hours roughly and sleeps from 10 til 6 waking up for 1 feed between 3am or 4am, tho at that feed she only has 2 or 3 oz. Im wondering to change her teet? She is still on tommee tippee slow flow and dont know whether to move her to medium at night do u think it will help her drink more? x

hi it might help her drink more ive just changed graces teats from number 2 to number 3 today before i changed them she'd struggle drinking 5oz even though she wanted it then she would be grumpy and hard to settle down,weel ive just give her a bottle using the new teat and she gulped 6oz down burped and went straight to sleep so i'd say its worth a try love
