My baby is four months now and taking only Formula milk. However at day times he is not taking milk . Sometimes at day time he is crying for milk but taking maximum 80 or 90 ml milk not more than that . And after two or three hours again crying but same 80-90 ml he is taking.
Only at the time of dream feeding he is taking 110-120 ml When he is sleeping and finishing the bottle.
So have to give him dream feed at night twice from 12- 6 at night. As during day time he is refusing.
Is that ok ? How can I feed him more at day time .
Also if he takes sufficient milk during day time is that necessary to dream him at night at this age when he is sleeping from 12 am to 6 am .
Also he is not crying for feeding at night. I give him when he started moving at night during his sleep.
