My little boy will be 16 weeks in 4 days time and for the last week has started waking in the middle of the night for a feed. He has been on formula from birth as he flat out refused breast milk, at around 8 weeks we had to put him on hungry baby milk as we were not able to fill him, he has also slept through the night since 8 weeks. He is now on 8 & 1/2 oz every 3 hours but cries for the next bottle after 2 & 1/2 hours, he has always got his hands in him mouth and also seems to be numming on thin air! I've been told the absolute earliest you can start weaning is 17 weeks, but feel terrible seeing him cry his heart out because he's hungry, is it ever ok to start early? Have contacted the HV but she made me feel and idiot for even asking, but gave no advice as how to satisfy my little boy. Just seems to be incredibly tricky.
What would other mums do in my situation? desperate for advice!
