Formula/feeding question for 4.5 month old
I was curious how many hours over night it is OK to let DD go w/o a bottle. She seems to fall asleep around 9, but her last feeding is at 10-1030. Her bottle before that is at 6-630.
FYI: She's drinking 5 bottles a day and takes anywhere from 5-7 ounces per feeding. She also eats cereal and fruit for breakfast and most of the times at night. She also eats a veggie and fruit for lunch.
Also, what is the latest that she should eat in the morning?
TIA

Re: Formula/feeding question for 4.5 month old
i dont know if I can help with the other question but DS will eat around 8pm and will not eat again until 630/7 am, so typically about 10 hours

Re: Formula/feeding question for 4.5 month old
DS gets 5-6 6 oz bottles a day.
His first one is when he wakes up between 6-730. From the point on he eats every 3 to 4 hours.
His last bottle is usually around 10pm. He is usually sleeping and we dream feed him.
So he goes about 8-10 hours without eating during the night.
We haven't started solids yet so I can't answer the last question.

Re: Formula/feeding question for 4.5 month old
DD falls asleep between 7-8. She typically has her last bottle at 7 but sometimes a little earlier and sometimes a little later. SHe will sleep until about between 6-7:30 without a bottle. SHe does get cereal 2 times a day with a fruit or veggie. Just started a a few weeks ago. She will be 5 months on the 24th
SHe gets a 5 1/2 oz bottle at 6/7 when she wakes up
9ish o'clock bottle 5 1/2 oz bottle cereal fruit veggie
every 3-4 hrs. 5 1/2 oz
I have been trying to give cereal/fruit/veggie around 6 ish then finish the bottle around 7. then bed
I had to cut back 1 oz each bottle during the day b/c with the cereal she was spitting up so much. But what I did last night b/c she wanted the bottle right after cereal I gave her 2 oz. at 7 before bed to top her off.

Re: Formula/feeding question for 4.5 month old
DD gets 5-6 6 oz bottles each day. Her last one is just before bed at 7:30-8pm. She usually sleeps until about 7am, when she eats again. She hasn't started solids yet. She will probably do so around 5 months, but she won't be taking 3 meals then...1 or maybe 2 per day. I don't think the span of time between bottles is a problem, as long as she is getting enough ounces per day total.

Ditto for my 4 mos old DD except she usually doesnt get her first bottle until 7:30am so she really goes 12 hours without one. Crazy as it sounds she's been doing that since she was 2 mos old.
