I'm Currently Feeling: 



mmm not every baby likes baby rice, my little girl wasnt fussed on it at all; she much preferred the little cereals you get for 4-6 month old babies, like porridge.

Or maybe some fruit or veg, like apple, pear, carrot. Something mild. When did you try the formula? Was it closely after a bf? Did your little boy maybe gulp it too quickly? If you think he did you could get a teat with a slower flow. Or if you think its the formula maybe some ebm in a bottle?

I hope you get some sleep soon, and I wouldnt necessarily rule out a growth spurt because sometimes they can go on and on and it might settle down again.

thanks yeah i tried apples as well and the baby cereal he's really not interested i tried the formula after a bf and he's using a newborn flow teat but he is a pig so maybe he is gulping it lol i thought about expressing so he can have that bit extra after a feed but i really dont know when i'd get time to as i'm feeding him so often?

mmmm I know what you mean theres only so many hours in the day huh? especially when you have other kids unless you wait till his tummy is emptier (is that even a word) and then try again. Theres nothing slower than a newborn teat so thats fine...suppose all you can do is keep offering the food until it clicks, my little girl wasnt in the slightest bit fussed until she was just over 6 months but now she'd eat coal
