4.3 weeks - how many mls per feed?

[bizbiz]

My little boy is currently drinking 120 mls per feed (every 3-4 hours). Sometimes, but not always, I feel like he is looking for more after he has finished. I want to make up bigger bottles and give him the option of drinking more if he wants, but dont know if this would be okay? And if so, how much should I make up? Would 150 mls be to much?

Some feed on demand and some feed on a schedule. I know that at times when I eat I am more hungry than at other times. Personally I fed my babies what they wanted because they know better than the doctor but there are some who will not sway from a chart. I hardly think that by giving your baby an extra ounce will do  harm (not sure of conversion).

Go ahead and check with your pediatrician and go with your Mommy instincts.

Sorry, my brain can't convert mls into ounces...At 4 wks, he should be drinking a few ounces at every feeding. All babies are different, some want more, some less. Ask your Pediatricians office for a feeding chart guideline.
