I went to get my 11 week old ff baby weighed at the baby clinic this morning. The clinic has several HV's that work there on rotation. I only wanted advice on how long to use infacol for.. She told me that I was giving him to much milk and that I'm feeding him too frquently - I should be stretching him out to 4 hourly!! He drinks 5-6 oz every 3 - 3.5 hours - 5 bottles in total per day. He's fallen into a routine/ pattern that's fitting in well around my toddler's routine and scool runs.
She reckons that he should be having only 5 oz's per feed and that if he's crying for more it's just wind!! His weight gain was just right - following his centile really well, so I don't know why I should be giving him less, especially if he wants it!!
Sorry - just a bit of a moan cos she annoyed me
