For all of those mums bottle feeding - how many mls does your baby drink in each feed and how old are they?

Fergus is 3 and a half months pretty much. He has breakfast at about 7am and drinks around 250mls. Then morn tea/lunch/arvo tea/dinner he has around 150-200mls depending on how hungry he is And they are spaced about 3-4 hours apart.He goes to bed between 6.30-7pm and wakes between 6.30-7am- so no night time feed. How about your baby? ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Oh should add he is on formula (rather than EBM or some other way I would know his amount!) ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

| Wow! Sophia is three months and drinks around 80-120mls three to four hourly.. She wakes once at night. She is fully formula fed. Fergus sounds like a dream baby! |

Sophia sounds like she is doing a good job too! How heavy is she? Ferg gets weighed next week with Plunket. But before Christmas he was 6.2- that was around 11w old. He is an amazing boy. So lucky!  ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Our twins are just over 4months old (were born 3wks early so adjusted age is 3 1/2 months) and they have 200mls 4 hourly 4 times a day - they don't have a night feed and weigh 6.4kg each :) Both of your bubs sound like they are doing well!! We always wonder if how much they are drinking is enough for their age but plunket say as long as they are steadily putting on weight then they're fine which is good to know ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">
