HUNGRIER BABY MILK

[luboo]

Hi!
My daughter is 14 weeks old now and still not dropping the middle of the night feed. She goes down about 7pm and then wakes at 2am and 7am. I am feeding her Aptamil 1 formula. Do you think it would help her to go through the night if I gave her hungrier baby formula for her bedtime feed? All thoughts appreciated...

I don't know about hungrier milks, but I do think you are well lucky she only wakes once in the night at inly 14 weeks! Mine was up twice until 5 months and only dropped the last night feed at about 8-9 months i think.

tried this with dd1 and she projectile vomited it up. maybe it was too rich.

Thanks! She has a problem with projectile vomiting anyway, so maybe not such a good idea... She has Gaviscon in her milk, does anyone know if you put this in the hungry baby milk as normal?

my dd2 had reflux too. i would be very wary of chaning her formula, tbh. also, gaviscon thickens the feed, and am guessing hungry milk might be thicker too. could be a bad combination. maybe ask your hv.

At 14 weeks I would say its completely normal to wake for a feed in the night. DS was 7 months before he slept a solid 12 hours

i had to put both my little bruisers on it from birth! lol

ds2 is on hungry baby milk and he wakes once for a feed. he is 13weeks.

posting like mad here- sorry!
i would suggest trying to feed her more inthe evening, cluster feed as much as she will take.
you need to 'tank them up' so to speak.

you cant really over fill a refluxy baby, tho.
