Feeding

Hi Mummies! My LO is 42 days old now. I am doing mixed feeding as my supply is low. I DL and give expressed breastmilk during the day and DL, formula feed at night. My LO only takes in about 60mls each feed if I attempt to give anymore she gags hence I dont force feed. I am worried she might be drinking too little.. However there are 8-10 wet nappies each day. Is it okay to let her continue drinking 60mls? I dont want to be underfeeding her.. How can I slowly increase the quantity. Please advise. TIA!!

For rough guide: Usually 1m old babies - 60ml to 90ml For 2-3m old babies - 120ml to 150ml. For 4-6m old babies - 120ml to 180ml You can slowly increase by 10ml weekly You can try to expand lo’s stomach capacity now. Depends on baby’s cue. If u observe lo’s wants more , give another 10-20ml once baby is growing older. Don’t worry not all babies will drink the same amount.
