Is baby getting enough formula: Video transcript [1]
Ways you can tell if your baby is getting enough milk include:
Remember, your baby does not need to finish the whole bottle of formula each time.
A crying baby is not always a hungry baby - there are other reasons for crying.
Your midwife or Well Child nurse will help you to recognise these signs, and make sure your baby is feeding effectively.
Your baby will need to feed regularly at night, so you may have to get up a few times a night to feed them. There is no difference in sleeping patterns between bottle fed and breastfed babies.
