Agreed with you,
I think it is no problem at all.

I agree with all, as long as baby is asking for milk....i think its ok to give.
My DS is 2 1/2 months and he is drinking 120ml every 3 hour, sometimes he can drink up to 230ml in 4 hours. During the day, i feed him on demand so he can sleep longer in the night. Now he sleeps 5 hours at night.

Personally, at 7 wks to drink 100ml every 2 hrs should be ok la.... you may like to increase a bit more, so that the drinking cycle can be longer....
he should be going for his check-up or next jab soon.... if he is over-weight, you will be warned, so it's fine....
If i remember correctly, mine was like drinking 150ml but every 3 hrs.... as long as you are not forcing him to drink, it should be fine...
All the best to a healthy baby, enjoy motherhood

My baby used to drink 120ml per 4hrs but now he keeps screaming whenever he has the teat in his mouth. If I'm lucky he'll finish the bottle of 120ml else he'll only drink 10ml ...

I just feed on demand.
if ur baby is hungry, there's nothing u can do except to feed.
now my baby is drinking abt 180ml.
cereal abt 150ml.
but if she starts crying 2 hrs aft the feed, I give her only water.
baby will start getting cranky if she's too full.

wa... u are like feeding her round the clock. haha.
since ur baby drinks so much then u can try giving her 120ml/150ml then wait till 3 hrs before giving her another 120/150ml again.
if not u r not tired meh. every 2 hrs have to feed.
if she asks for milk aft 2hrs , try to give her water or the soother instead. if she really is hungry then u can give her every 2.5hrs for a start.. then slowly change to 3hrs.
u mean by feeding them frequently in the day, baby can sleep better at night, whereas in yr case ur 2 1/2 month baby sleep for 5 hours at night!!! btw what milk formula ur baby drinking?
psst: whats ds?? sory am new here
:err:
isit? cranky if too full? that one i dont know. anyway me just gave birth to a babyboy 3months ago. taking care of him is difficult as hes easily cranky. easily colic. and wakes up frequently at night for feeding, but at times even after giving him his milk, hes still not asleep yet. any advice mummies??? plus i have a gerl of 15mths too.
