According to the instructions and labels on the formula milk, baby should be drinking 120ml or more at her current state but we are still feeding her 90ml at the moment.
Sometimes, we wonder if that’s enough for her cos there are times that it seems that she’s still hungry even after 90ml but yet when we “pet pet” her to sleep, she can also fall asleep.
Daddy & Mummy are wondering when we should increase the quantity and is there any signs to let us know that is time to increase the quantity?

The instructions on the label are only a guide. Each baby differs. Mummy and daddy will know best when it’s time to increase. Is she finishing her 90ml and asking for more? If she is, then it’s time to increase. If she’s not there yet, don’t worry and let her slowly increase her intake.

My Andre should be drinking 180ml now but he is still at 120-150ml. If he is still hungry after his feed, I will increase more. If it is enough. he will push the teat out with his tongue. They will regulate themselves bah. Though Andre is not getting the volume as stated on milk tin, he is still growing big and chubby.
I also tried to increase his volume a few times hoping that the feed can last longer, however his interval is still at 3 hours interval, so I revert to the original volume since it last him the same period.
