Formula and STTN
AJ started sleeping through the night. He was drinking around 35oz a day. Since he is STTN now he is missing about 10oz. Do I add it to his daily bottles? He has been screaming during the day and I am assuming he is hungry. He has always been a big eater. He now gets 5 bottles a day so should I make them 7oz instead of 5oz???
You'd think this is my first kid considering how I have no clue! He is so different from Chelsea.

Re: Formula and STTN
Maybe up his bottle when he first gets up in the morning, since he is prob so hungry from going all night, see if that helps, if not up the next one and keep going from there.

Re: Formula and STTN
My 4 month old son gets 5 7 oz bottles a day and sleeps from around 8:30-5:30 (when he gets his first bottle) and will then go back to sleep until around 8:30-9am and will hang out for awhile before his next bottle and some cereal-which we just started the other day.

Agree.
When DD started sleeping through the night I did add oz.'s to her bottles. She now has 5 bottles a day 6-7 oz each. The last one before bed is 7-8 oz

Re: Formula and STTN
My son also just started sleeping through the night. He normally takes about 4oz per feeding but when he wakes up in the morning I give him a 6 (or even 7) ounce bottle b/c he's extra hungry. Throughout the day he goes back to 4oz feedings...if he's still hungry I may add an ounce or 2 and that usually satisfies him.

Re: Formula and STTN
DS started STTN at 3m, he took 4 bottles a day, I always offer 1oz more than he "normally" takes, so Id make 9oz bottles, on rare occassion he'd take it all, he was 16 lbs
Ped nurse, the best one I've ever met, says always offer more, but always leave a little behind, go with the babbies appetite, but don't let them overfeed

Re: Formula and STTN
I always end up making more than Tyler can eat, so I waste a lot, but it's easier than making 2 bottles! Maybe adding cereal to the bottle? I did that with Bradley, but I don't remember when we started. That is awesome that he's sleeping through the night!

ITA... first morning bottle has more and then the ones throughout the day you can keep the same
