She is having two bottles of 200ml during the day and another this size after her bath (which she usually falls asleep one).

Guidelines (for what of a better word) on the formula box and all other material says they should be having 3 x 200ml at this stage. She is doing this, but then going on to have more during the night.

I was trying to keep her to just the 2 x 200ml bottles during the day so that she has an appetite for food, as she was still so keen on milk.

Maybe i am getting that wrong too?

Woe is you!!

I haven't read any of the boxes or literature! I just keep giving Benjamin his milk :rotfl:

He gets a good BF in the morning, about an hour before his breakfast. Breakfast. A bottle in the morning before his nap. Lunch. A bottle in the afternoon before his nap. Dinner and then a bedtime bottle and BF if he wants it.

Maybe that is why he has such a pot-belly!!


What are the other March babies having?

ooh I'm having trouble not missing things as Ed is so blimming wriggley and I have no where to put him :mad: he managed to fling himself out of his rocking chair yesterday :eek:

Keely *hugs* for you, the asda offer is still going AFAIK so you can get some replacement specs cheaply

MFD - do you use c&g night time milk?

random question for OS'ers do you know how so make cookies really gooey and yummy like the ones you get from dominos pizza?
I made some cookies yesterday but they were quite dry so I couldn't decide less flour/more egg/more butter

Thankyou heaps

How about soya/rice milk and that kind of thing?

Obviously human milk is best by the looks of that but I'm not carrying on much past one year.. no sir-ee

elle, been reading a little more... Looks like soya and rice milks are lower than sheeps/cow and goats milk, but atill a lot higher than breast milk. The next lowest is formula, with only approx 1% more of potassium and phosphorus than breast milk. Could you face swapping to formula? I can look at which is the lowest brand for potassium and phosphorus if you like

AF - what time is she due? I sympathise with you, I think LO is quite similar to your LO. Basically I just let him have as much milk as he wants (lots, still 10-12 feeds a day), as much solids as he wants (not much, apart from 250g of yogurt yesterday for some bizarre reason) and let him sleep where he wants (on me, or in my bed). I wish I could advise, but I found the best thing for me is to just go with what he wants.

MM - Toby is 9 months old in a couple of days and still eats very little. I wouldn't worry about it personally.

Sami - brocolli was one of Tobys first foods, he mushed it into the table and then licked it off his hands.

my MIL would love me to be more like you. i listen to much to what i am 'told' as opposed to what i should be doing. although in my defence, i am just trying to get her to eat better.

benjamin is not a pot belly, well if he is, LO is a bigger one. i am pretty sure she weighs more than him :D

i wouldnt care about the amount of milk she was having if her eating was good.

saying that, along with MFD's question re milk .. what are the other March babies eating on average??? (quite possilby and most likely, i'm overreacting.)

Thanks for asking and Bruno and family are mostly-ok but OH remaining very stressed with the world, her own anger management and patience etc. She even ordered an amazon book yesterday about not being angry with toddlers.

I would take that to be a good sign as she is not only recognising the problem but actively trying to solve it.

OT went well this morning, we are getting a triangle seat and a bath seat and I have been told to feed Dylan wotsits !!!
Well, not quite, but she said as its easy melted to help him associate putting things in his mouth with food, its an easy one to start him on and there is less fear of choking. So we are to start that and we are also getting a referral to the speech therapist because he has so little interest in food to get some ideas on what might help. To be honest, I would rather let him get on with it in his own time, but apparently at 7 months he should be eating better than he is. Oh well, just one more appt to add to the list !!

I'm sure he's eating more than Alice was - we didn't start weaning until she was seven months.

Yay Dylan! Yay to free stuff!

SeptemberBaby wrote: »

Lucky you, Dylan! I love Wotsits!

Eating develops the muscles used for speech afaik so they ST may have some exercies for him.

PS: how is your bum?!

They do baked Wotsits now and I can't tell the difference :T:T:T can't remember off the top of my head but about 90 calories a bag!!

Do you have a bumbo?

We use hipp organic nighttime milk, he just prefers it. It takes him ages to finish the bottle and you can hear him going mmmmmm mmmmm mmmmmm as he drinks it :rotfl:

That is the reason that I put him on the nighttime stuff, we had a few trial sachets and he just yummed his way through them! We tried C&G but it didn't have the same yummy effect!!
