Not sure if I have a snacker or am being impatient with my 12 week old Ds. He just can not get to sleep longer in he night.
He has gone 3 hours between feeds since the day he was born taking 90ml a feed. He weighs 15lb
Now he just won't take anymore than 90ml - 120ml (if we are lucky) and I think that it's stopping him from going those extra hours in the night as I just can't get enough into him during the day. He is dream fed and no longer cluster fed
Last week I put him on Fastflow teats and he is still the same
With him being a big baby do I try and stretch him longer between feeds so he takes more?
Thanks

He should be taking around 5 ozs per feed at this age ~150mls
How is he when he does take a feed? Happy/fussy?
Using a teat that is too fast for his age will just cause excess gas so I would stick to a slower/medium flow for now... How long does it take him to finish a feed?
Ideally, we would want a feed to be finished in 20 mins or less.
