The 5 feeds per day is just a guideline (my S-26 sachets say 6 feeds for 2 weeks-3months). Some babies will still want smaller, more frequent feeds. If you do choose to switch to formula, just make sure it is what you really want, as usually there is no going back. And sometimes it's not all it's cracked up to be - constantly washing bottles, preparing formula, heating bottles, buying formula, constipation & smelly poos! lol. I hope I am not coming across the wrong way, I'm just speaking from past experiences.

Emily is feeding roughly 3 hourly during the day, and between 3-5 hours at night. All babies are different, I know it's hard not to compare, but there is no 'normal/abnormal'. My DS1 fed every 1-3hrs day AND night. He didn't start sleeping in longer stretches until he was around 9 months old. No one had warned me about the sleep deprivation!
