Can't remember really tbh. Couple of days to a week?!
Maybe up her an oz per bottle might stretch it out a bit?

Growth spurts usually last a couple of days with my Oliver- if he starts wanting milk more frequently, I just up his bottles an oz and it usually works.
More than likely, he goes back down to his regular feeding routine after a few days.
He's just come through a developmental leap and he was taking 7oz bottles every 3 hours and was really clingy and grumpy!!
Thankfully it's over now and he's back to 7oz bottles every 5 hours xx

Altho she is going every two hrs between feeds she isn't always draining the 5oz so I'm not sure upping would make a difference to be honest. xx

I wouldn't up her bottles just feed more frequently, she only has a tiny tum it will pass xx

just a question regarding growth spurts, how much can they get through? Like I say Mia is 7 wk's tomorrow and has drank 27 oz since 5am this morning. Seems like hell of a lot xx

Don't worry hun. She can't take too much. If she does she'll spit it up
What weight is she?

 

[kezzalicious30]

Haven't had her weighed since she was 7-12 but guessing 11lb xx

 

[Dubchick81]

Haven't had her weighed since she was 7-12 but guessing 11lb xx

Ok so based on 11lb she should average 27 / 28oz per day
But remember this is only a guide. Éabha didn't really follow the "guide" for very long...
Going to have her weighed today. Love having her weighed to show me I'm doing ok with her...

She will have as much as she needs hun, try not to worry. If she's had enough she just won't drink any more. Xx

Yeh I need to take her to get weighed. She is definitely gaining weight anyway so no problems there x
