formula

my babies are 6 weeks old. My boy is taking 5oz and my girl is taking 4oz.. how do you know when too much is too much and too little is too little.
I know they will drink how ever much you put in their bottles.. when do you know to increase. My boy is a guzzler.
is there a certain time frame when all babies need an increase?
am I making any sense?

 

If they drank everything in their bottle and still acted hungry then I would give them an extra ounce. I only increased the amount I put in every bottle when they consistently wanted more after every meal.

I did the same exact thing.

 

Same here. As long as they aren't spitting it all back up, I would give them more if they seem hungry! Sounds like you have a couple of good eaters!

 

I also did the same. If they get to much they'll just spit it up.

 

its that simple..i know.. I guess I just worry too much. i dont want to over feed... my boy is a chubba.
thanks ladies!

 

generally they will stop eating if they are not hungry. I agree with what the others said. I've heard in many places when they are consistently finishing the bottles, it's time to add another ounce..
