Hi,
So a little back story, my little girl is 4 months old, and has always had trouble eating her milk. She eats every 3 hours and has only just started finishing 4oz/120mls. She is bottle fed on cow and gate.
I've had her weighted and she has had slow growth in the last 7 weeks and is on the 25th percentile.
But she just doesn't want more milk, even if I try and feed her kore frequently she won't take any more.
And also she has never poo'd every day, sometimes it's 3/4 days.
So I tried her on some baby porridge and she loves it, very actively going for the spoon and eating it all.
In the past 3 days I've given her porridge twice a day. As well as her normal milk.
She has pooped every day for the last 3 days, it is loose. I should also add she is teething and her poos have been loose all month, every time she has poo'd.
Does this sound normal? I know I'm supposed to wait until 6 months but she doesn't want anymore milk and I can't keep having her not gain weight properly.
Many thanks for any advice or experiences of what other people have gone through
