    My DS is a chucky baby, but doesn't mean i am going to stop feeding him if he is hungry. i just sit/stand him up after and hope it stays in. if he tells me he needs more after a chuck he gets it.

    Sounds like you have 2 happy healthy babies!

    Keep feeding them what they want. They will decide if how much they want to have and as they have so much growing to do the amount they drink will vary all the time. Sometimes you will find they will drain the bottle dry and other times leave some...

    Liam was a chucker as well and that is just the way he was . The MCN's go to a plan, but listen to B & B's needs, if I followed the formula tin or my MCN my boys would have been wanting bottles all day every day but because I took their clues by the time they were 8mths old they were only have 3 bottles a day (MCN & Tin says at least 4-5) and now at 12mths Rhys will have a morning and night bottle and Liam will have a morning bottle and maybe 40mls at night because they know if they are hungry or not.

    If they are thriving and happy and contented then you are doing great
