Thanks ladies!

Will definitely add the scoop when I make the next batch of bottles up :)

I'd say add the extra scoop and water to match it.
With my son he was super hungry and we increased as he needed it, even the pead said listen to the baby and not the tin!
By 4 and a half months he was on the 6-12 months stage 2 milk!! Yeah super hungry. But yup I did check with the pead before that change though.
He was also on solids by 3 and a half months to suppliment!
You just may have a hungry baba, no worries, it's a good thing when it comes to solids they are more willing to try everything!!
My son is 2 and a half now and still looooooves his food!

I have always believed in following the cues LO's give us, rather than the guidelines on the tin, so add the scoop and see if he wants it. A baby will not take more than it needs.

Jack is on formula and we seem to have hit a MAJOR growth spurt.

He finishes his bottles - as in I have to pull it out when its empty.

Now my question is - do I offer more - as in give part of another bottle? He does settle after finishing the bottle but is demanding food a little more regularly.

Or do I add an extra scoop? He is due to get the extra scoop anyone from next monday - so could I add it now?
