help ! 19 week old on 4 hour easy until late afteroon

[hayles9383]

Hi need some advice. My dd is 19 weeks , has slight silent reflux for which she takes gaviscon. She is on 4 hour easy and led me to that herself , apart from late afternoon when she wants a bottle after 2 hours. She sleeps from df til 7am (mostly) but doesn't want feeding until 7.30 - 8am. I have tried some baby rice, carrot and Apple but she refuses to swallow it. So obviously not ready for solids although she watches us everytime we eat. This is her feeding for today:

E 07.30 6oz
E 11.30 7oz
E 15.30 8oz
E 18.30 9oz and will have df at 10.30 7 oz

Every night now for about 2 weeks she will cry with hunger anywhere between 5.30- 6pm. Should I introduce an extra bottle here . She naps well and is in bed by 19.15 .

Any chance you could try and increase the previous 2 bottles to 8oz?

Is she tired between 5.30 and 6pm? The cries often sound very similar.

When is she napping? I seem to remember that my guy would cluster feed right before bed for a while and eat an unbelievable amount! But we still had a catnap then too.
