Need Advice On Feeding 13 Week Old

2 replies

MummyNeedsHelp · 22/12/2009 19:05

Hi, DD is 13 weeks and is bottle fed, she was drinking 5-6ozs of cow and gate First Infant Milk and about 2 weeks ago she started crying for more after 2-3 hours rather than her normal 4 hours so i started feeding her more often only she still didnt seem satisfied.

My mother suggested baby rice but i dont want to wean her to early so two days ago i changed her milk to cow and gate infant milk for hungrier babies now she's drinking 5ozs every 3-4 hours but for half hour after feeding she's crying nonstop and nothing calms her down she's also windy alot(farting often)

After feeding i make sure she's properly winded, she burps a lot and is all smiles until 5 mins later when she starts the crying.

Is this just down to a change in milk and will it sort itself out? or should i change her back to stage 1?

TIA

Have you tried any colic remedies? There's a few you can try which you add to the formula, might help? I think there's one called Colieve (sp?)

Why not change her back to the stage 1, feed her as much as she asks for even if it seems like a lot, then see if it stops the wind?

Infacol is supposed to be good too.

I would definately hold off the baby rice, that wouldn't help if she's already having trouble digesting the milk. I don't know enough about it to say properly but I'm pretty sure that weaning before 20 weeks can be harmful.

And maybe she was having a growth spurt and just extra hungry, rather than in need of hungry baby formula?
