need some advice. my little one is 4 weeks old and is on 4 Oz bottles hen used to sleep 3/4 hours during night but is only sleeping 2 now and waking up instantly hungry, should I try him on 5 Oz even though my health visitor has said he shouldn't be on 5oz yet ? I don't see why not if he's hungry he's hungry! she said " just get up every 2 hours it won't hurt ya " that isn't the point !!
If he's finishes the bottle and is still looking for more then he must need more. Not all babies follow the guidelines on the tin. They will stop eating when they've had enough xx
So longs as he's not drinking and then sleeping to long because that may indicate he's had to much and it can stodge the baby out. Try it in the day first and see how he responds x
@homely.mummy.no2, @megsssimo thankyou girls yeah I hate him waking up screaming like he's starving so I'm going to try it xxx
Ugh I hate the HV's sometimes! All babies are different, all you can do is try him with 5oz and see if it helps it won't do him any harm - if he's had too much he'll let you know! I had the same thing with my daughter and she's 16 weeks today ... Good luck!x
don't listen to hv, he's your baby, you do what you think is best hun, Dylan was on 5oz at a month old and he's not on 7oz and food xx
