the rule of thumb for amounts of formula for a baby not having solids is approx 2.5-2.7oz per lb of weight so by my calculation he should be taking between 42.5 and 45.9oz of milk per 24 hours. Your lo is taking a normal amount of milk for his age and weight so I dont see why your hv has an issue with it. If he is happy and you are happy with it then continue what you are doing.

i know i might get jumped on but it was hv advice! yeah he has a lot of water as well could be growth spurt but it's been around 2wks!

awww what a hungry boy! he might be having a growth spurt that will settle with time I personally wouldent give any solids just more milk esp if the food made no difference, I may be wrong but do you think he may be thirsty do you give boiled water?
If it were me i would keep with the milk and see how it goes it might settle.
I do hope you dont get jumped on lol if u do just ignore it lol
