    The measurements on the side of the tin are guidelines. As long as you are making the formula up with the appropriate number of scoops to water, it doesn't matter if the baby prefers more or less than the age range on the tin suggests.
    :yeahthat:

    My DD is 10 months and when she has a formula feed, she only has 200ml although 250+ is recommended for her age. They are only recommendations as all babies are different - they're all little individuals with individual feeding requirements

    I agree with everything that has been said above. Don’t be surprised if in a few weeks your baby wants less than what it says on the tin

    Both of my boys were big drinker always had more for their ages, it wasn't doing any harm and they weren't on solids.
    but they do go up n down with how much they do want. my eldest when he was born an hr after he was drinking 180mls and did so for 5 weeks then dropped off
