How much formula at 4 months - mine drinks LOADS
Health visitor said 5-6oz per feed but mine is downing 8oz every 3 hours and still seems hungry. He's 95th percentile for weight. Should I be worried or just let him lead?

Same here. Mine was on 9oz at 4mo and she's a totally normal toddler now.

Big babies drink big amounts. As long as he's content and pooing/weeing fine, follow his lead.

If he's distributing it across feeds rather than gulping for comfort, sounds fine.

Worth checking with GP about reflux - sometimes hungry-seeming is reflux discomfort.
