My 8 month old feeds more often than that. I breastfeed on demand. So it's up to you.

Although I'm breastfeeding I've always fed my daughter on demand. Even now and she's 10 months happy and healthy. Feeding on demand is good for them. Believe it or not babies are really good at telling you when they're hungry

maybe u should tell them and try to get more cans , because they should give you enough.

at the time I was breast feeding but I don't anymore @mrsmord

i was breast feeding but I ended up switching to formula @emaleejoy

Yes!!! And yeah, WIC should give you more unless you are also breastfeeding! @mommy.to.be.041016

ohhh okay see so I'm doing right then? @emaleejoy

how come they give you so little ?

yeah but we already used this months they only gave me two cans this month -.- @mrsmord

@mommy.to.be.041016,

Definitely feed the baby whenever he's hungry! But around 6 months, a feeding schedule does get somewhat important because babies do need to learn to soothe themselves and sometimes the urge for a bottle is just to be soothed!

do u guys have Wic in the area? did u try to apply

thank you! that's what I've been saying it makes no sense at all. he just wants me to save formula till Friday he gets paid on Fridays he doesn't know what he says sometimes I think @mrsmord

lol independent ? how does not feeding baby on command make him independent.

that's what I do but my husband gets onto me about it says he needs to learn how to be independent but how can a baby do that right?! @mrsmord

I fed my son whenever he was hungry . so if he cried and it wasn't gas or poop diaper or pain and he was hungry I fed it was sometimes 3 hours 4 or 2 I just feed on command I think It's better
