eating soo much!!

ryder · Dec 26th, 2008, 08:52 AM

Lately Jasmine has been having 6oz at each feed!!!! 6 bottles of 6oz, then at 5am she has 4oz... Thats a total of 40 oz in 24hrs... this isnt a growth spurt either.

So maby people have suggested starting her on some cereal, which I know most of you will disagree with, however I do know lots of people who gave it younger then Jasmine is...

How much do other 2month olds eat?? She weighs less then 12lbs still.

well as you know I BF so I cant be sure but when I give her a bottle ( which I've done a few times over the festive period!) she has about 6 oz in a bottle and she feeds 8 times a day. Dunno if that helps! x

I have no idea tabs eats alllll the time still hence being 13lb 12 abd 62cms aalready tee hee!! I just give her as much as she wants and i'll do that when i give her a bottle too. But my mum gave me baby rice at 6 weeks and my OH was about 3month when his mum did so i dont know... i think u go with what u think is best, as soon as tabs wakes up more than once in the night i'm going to give her something

That sounds like a normal amount to me.

Really, anyone i've told how much she has says that is quite alot for a baby her age/size.... She just never seems to be satisfied either.

Shes had her first pablum bottle tonight... I only put a tbsp in with 6oz of milk and she drank 4.5 oz and is soooo settled!!!

So I hope it continues to work for her, im just going to start with 1 bottle a day until I make sure she isnt going to be upset or constipated. I gave it to her early too just in case she got upset.

ryder · Dec 26th, 2008, 18:26 PM

rice cereal and formula... She has never fell asleep and been so content that quick ever.

Happy baby!

Are you gonna try one at bed time?? Not sure what time of day it is there....

ryder · Dec 26th, 2008, 18:33 PM

Its 6:30 here now, I gave it to her early in cse it upset her tummy, but tomorow I my give it to her at bedtime. I can see now how it does help them sleep a bit better now, just because she looks more comfortable, I think she was just drinking too much fluid and getting bloated... if that makes any sense.
