Hi, wondered if anyone had any thoughts on my situation.. My daughter has been exclusively breastfed from birth until she started at nursery at 7.5 months (returned to work) when we introduced a couple of small bottles of formula in the day firstly 2 x 3oz now 2 x 4oz. I breastfeed her at all other times. We are doing BLW so she is not eating much at all... The nursery are asking if they should increase her amount of formula as they say she seems to want more milk when she has finished the bottle, and seems excited when they bring it to her... But i don't want to give her more than she needs.. maybe 3 x 4oz bottles? don't really want to give bigger bottles..
I drop her off just before 8 (last feed from me is anywhere between 5 and 7 ish), collect about 3.30-4 ish and feed straight away.. So my question is really how much formula do you think she should have at the nursery?! thanks for any thoughts...
