Increasing Formula

TJ

Hi ladies,

My son is 6 months old, he just started solid foods. I noticed he has been finishing his formula very quickly, 4 oz every 3 hours. So one night I decided to give him 5 ounces and he drank it all! I felt so bad that I didn’t realize he was hungry for more, I would’ve increased earlier.

Anyways, now that he is taking 5 ounces and solid feeding 2 tbs 2 times a day, how many hours do I space his formula? Is it ok to feed 5 oz every 4 hours now? Since I increased an ounce can I increase an hour too?
