Hi Im just wondering do babies have formula preferences?
Weve had weight issues with LO since birth and loads of health issues most of them common for babies. She usually doesnt finish her bottles.
LO is almost 10 weeks now and can just finish 4oz. She feeds 7 or 8 bottles a day with 2/3bottles being BM which she finishes 90% of the time. The remaining bottles are formula where she eats between 1-2oz and very rarely finishes a bottle. In total she still drinks around 22-26oz of milk a day on average since i try to feed her every 3 hours. People said its acceptable. But i want her to drink more so i can let her sleep longer stretches at night
0-6weeks we used aptamil which cause trapped wind and reflux plus slow weight gain dropped a centile
7-10 weeks Milk was out of stock on our local store so i changed to cow and gate. Problem is she only poops every 2-4days which is very runny, no changes and its week 3. With aptamil she has pasty poops. and she farts a lot with c&g too. Also dropped one centile
She would so very rarely finish 4Oz on both brands.
Thinking of changing to kendamil as people said it tastes the best and LO might like the flavor and drink more. Its just the supply issue i guess.
Otherwise she is a happy active baby. Just the weight gain and health issues.
How should i transition? Should i just change her milk right away? Is it okay to change milk every few weeks?
Is kendamil a good choice? Any good experiences with switching to kendamil?
i just feel like no matter what i do.. she will not gain weight as expected of her. I envy those moms whose babies finishes 6 to 7oz per feed and still ask for more.
im also wondering if i should just let her sleep long stretches at night and go back to feeding based on hunger cues. If it would help with her intake volume
Thanks mommies
