Hi everybody
My little one is only three weeks old today, however he was born a good 9 pounds 10 1/2. He was a big boy, could not wait for my milk to come, and demanded (screamed the hospital down) food. I tried to breasfeed but nothing was enough, so we had to top up with formula. The result: he preferred bottle, so when milk finally arrived at the third day, he totally refused to have it.
Anyway, to make it short, he kept demanding more and more milk. He is only three weeks old today, but he is having around 26 oz per day of Farleys first Milk, and keep demanding more, sometimes doesn't even last 3 hours...
My question is: what to do?? any advice or experience? I am tempted to switch to Second milk for hungrier babies, but Health visitor said that it could damage his organs because is difficult to digest....She was addamant I should stick to the first stage milk for a YEAR! My problem also is that I have a little toddler to look after too, so need to have a routine or something similar to cope.
Is second milk really such an evil thing?? when to use it? any experiences with hungry babies?? any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
