enfamil gentlease

Question

hi mummies! my baby is 3.5 months old and is drinking gentlease! he is feeding on 120ml but doesn’t last three hours! i tend to feed another 90ml within two hours mark. just wondering if any mummies whose baby drinks gentlease has the same problem? understand that based on manufacturer, 2 to 6 months baby should be feeding @ 150ml but my baby has bad acid reflux so we’re slowly increasing his milk intake. unsure if it’s because we’re feeding at 120ml that’s why he seems more hungry?

Hi! My baby has been drinking NAN Optipro all the way, so not sure if any formula differences But just wanted to share that the formula guidelines are really just for reference and don't need to follow exactly! My baby also had bad reflux when younger and was also very easily fulfilled, always drinking way less than what formula can recommended. But he is above 75 percentile for weight all the way. 😅 looking out for baby's cues is more important :) Feeding less and more frequently really helps with the acid reflux so imo you're already on the right track and just have to wait for baby to grow up more before he can take a larger amount and longer time in between bottles. Now my baby is almost one years old, eats three solid meals a day and max also only drink 150ml during milk feed. All the best!
