I'm not entirely sure what your question is, but I would stick to first milk. Hungry baby milk is just harder for them to digest than normal milk. If he's hungry can you just give him more milk?

ok, but he wont drink the milk even though he is hungry. i just want some help with what to do, wether to change his milk. he seems to be fine on stage 2. i will keep going with stage 1. but he was drinking 5oz now only 3oz. shall i try him on some rice. x

No, you shouldn't introduce solids til around 6 months.

How many feeds is he having a day? How much does he weigh?

You could offer 3oz more often - maybe he just prefers to feed little and often rather than take big feeds in one go.

he is having about 6/7 feeds a day, he weight 13lb 5oz. but he was taking 5oz 2 days ago, so i just dont undrestand, ok, my oldest i started him on solids just after 4 mnths, he was on stage 2 milk from 6 wks, but then he had bad colic, so i havent really done it on second. just wish i knew how to get him 2 drink more. x

What teat are you using - could be too slow for him?

Maybe he's coming down with a bit of a cold or something and is a bit off his milk - I wouldn't panic yet.

he is on teat 3. has been for a while. i think he may have teeth coming he has always got his hands in his mouth, and i thnk i can see white in his gum
