My dd is 14 weeks at the moment and is starting to take loads of formula. Yesterday she had 36oz and would have had a total of 42 but she brought up some after a couple of feeds. As far as I know this is a lot for her age! She's also on 6 month teats already because she sucked the other ones so hard they just kept collapsing. Even the 6 month ones collapse occasionally but not enough to cause a proper problem.
I definitely don't want to start her on solids, I think its much too early but DH and various people are saying that if she's that hungry we'll have to consider it. I was thinking more of the formula for hungrier babies. She's on Aptamil First at the moment and I don't know what it's called but there's an Aptamil for young babies but ones that are hungrier.
I don't think she's just thirsty because she's still going 4/5 hours between feeds, she just takes a lot at each feed. Also, if she is thirsty how do I tell because she hates plain water.
Basically just need some expert Mumsnet advice!!
What's the main difference between the normal formula and the one for hungrier babies?
Is there more chance of her getting too fat with the 'hungrier' formula?
If she carries on being a hungry baby, when's the earliest to consider solids?
....And any other advice would be hugely appreciated!
