My daughter Gabriella is 17 weeks old and weights 7.5 kg. She started nursery 3 weeks ago, i drop off between 8.00 and 9.00, her last breastfeed is between 7.00 and 8.00am. I told the nursery to feed her to feed every three hours, typically she eats around 10,1 and then 4. I provide th3 nursery with around 14-15oz of expressed breast milk and she is 4-5 ounces per feed. Her carer had suggested it's not enough and i should consider giving her baby cereal, as my daughter is quit3 chubby, and starts crying after about 2.5 hours. I am seeing the paedratician next week, but just wanted to somewhat people think. I am providing enough milk ? I don't think I can express more than 15 ounces of milk a day, I'm struggling as it is. I am a bit hesitant about baby cereal, is it really necessary ? My son was exclusively breastfeed for six months and he was fine.
