Hello mums. I am a first time mum to 4.5 month old twin girls. One of my girls is quite a bad feeder and as a result is a battle each feed to get a minimal amount of milk into her. She is being treated for silent reflux (Omeprazole - 10mg/day) and a cow's milk intolerance (now on Nutramigen AA) and now I suspect the beginnings of teething as well. I have an appointment on Friday with the paediatric dietician and I'm hoping they will suggest early weaning as I know she isn't getting enough from the small amount of milk she is taking. A routine of the following has been suggested to me...
7am - milk
9am - intro 'breakfast'
11am - milk (to eventually be phased out)
12:30pm - intro 'lunch' once 'breakfast' established
3pm - milk (also eventually to be phased out)
5:30pm - intro 'dinner' (again once 'breakfast' and 'lunch' established)
7pm - milk
Potential nighttime feed depending on level of hunger.
I thought that sounded like a sensible schedule and have for the past 2 weeks been feeding on the above milk times including the nighttime feed which has been clocking in around 1am-2am-ish. I flicked through a Gina Ford book and she suggests a different approach regarding weaning. I am interested to hear of how other mums started and continued on.
Thank you!
