Am thinking of using this for my dd (3 m) as she is needing such big feeds now (210 -240ml), and has been more unsettled last few days so wondering if she's still hungry. has anyone else used c & g hungry baby - was it any good?

I swapped to hungry baby for a week with ds1 and it made him really ill, and made no difference to what he drank anyway.

Her feeds don't sound excessively large anyway. I would keep her on the premium!

Hiya
How many feeds is she taking at that size?
I am not a big fan of hungry baby milk, as it can cause constipation and make them very unsettled. Maybe she is jsut having a growth spurt. I'd certainly leave it for a few days as growth spurts tend to pass in a week the thinka about it it

5, occasionally 6. this isn't a phase tho i don't think - has always had alot more than the guidelins suggest!

The more milk she drinks, the vitamins and nutrients she will get. It's a good thing.

When it gets to the point where you are give 8 oz every 2 hours, then it's time to worry, but not yet. She honestly isn't drinking a very huge amount. She will only drink what she needs.

guide lines are only that.
