Ds has been showing much less interest in b/f in the last few weeks and I've taken the opportunity to cut down on feeds. Timing seems to be right for both of us. He's down to 2 feeds now - first thing and last thing. He's showing less interest in the am feed so I've been giving him some formula in a cup with his breakfast, after a b/f.
I'm just not sure how much formula I should be giving him. Bottles are out so he drinks from a free flow cup (v. messy), he is dairy intolerant so the formula he has is Nutramigen. I can get 8 - 10oz into him at breakfast time and then another 4 oz or so in the afternoon. Should I be giving him this milk in the afternoon or just wait till I've dropped the bedtime b/f and give him his formula first and last thing? What's the minimum I should be aiming for? Some sources say 350mls others more. We're off to the dietician soon re his dairy challenge so will consult with her regarding fat and calcium intake. Any advice, suggestions, experiences?
