| I know alot of people say 7months onwards you can drop a feed thats why i thought it was too early...has Charlie ever slept through? Luckily my bubs likes his sleep but he will get up between 3am and 4am...has a little look around...has a little laugh with himself and then falls back asleep xx | | | | Status: Offline

| Feed Caitlyn twice a day and she had 4 7oz bottles in the day. She usually eats a whole jar too.
I wouldn't drop a feed. He will let you know when he doesn't want it.

| I'd just leave it up to him to decide to drop it. First he should start dropping oz and eventually miss the feed totally. | | | | Status: Offline

Thanks for that Amy...you have put my mind at rest...i personally thought he was too young and he is obviously drinking because he wants it and when he doesn't he refuses it...plus he has only been having 5 teaspoons of food...  xx | | | | Status: Offline

|  You do whats right for your baby. Caitlyn wont have more than she can take. Well SOMETIMES she does, and she throws it right back up again. But milk is still her main intake right now.
