SMA LF + hungry baby?

Beaney192 · Jan 31st, 2012, 04:02 AM

Hiya,
My son has been on SMA LF for about a month now and he is doing great on it! The thing is he can drink anything from 3 to 6 oz per feed, but this will only keep him happy for 2 and a half hours at the most. I have tried to up his oz but if he doesnt want them he just spits them back at me lol. He has also stopped sttn and is fussing every few hours. I dont think sma lf have hungry milk so is there anything else I can do?

Thank you

From my understanding the LF milk is quicker to digest as the proteins in it are already partially broken down as well as not containing lactose, have you asked your doctor about trying something else as lactose intolerance in babies is usually temporary and it may have resolved by now? Comfort formula has considerably less lactose than first milk so may be something worth trying as a stepping stone...?
