Did you increase the amount you offer in a bottle by the guide on the tin. For example my LO is 11 weeks old and the tin says she should now have around 6.5oz (7oz when made up) Or did you what until your LO started draining bottles.
My LO still only drinks around 4oz each bottle 3-4 hourly but I have been offering the bigger amount just in case one day she decides to drink more. I am throwing away a third of the bottle each time, which over a week works out to quite a bit of the tin.
Should I put her back to the smaller amount and wait until she starts finishing these bottles before I increase it?
Also
When you give the d/f is it common for them to still wake for another feed 4 hours later, or is the d/f not working? We have been doing it for a week now and the early morning bottle seems to get earlier and earlier each day. The first night d/f at 10, she woke at 5. Then d/f 10.30 woke at 4.30, last night d/f at 11 she woke at 3. We started to do them later thinking she may go through till 6 not start waking earlier. Should I go back to 10 and see what happens, stop all together or keep going.
We cant add the extra calories to the day because she just will not eat them.
