dropping a feed

Helabela · Sep 10th, 2010, 15:01 PM

today we were out and about and lost track of time, before i knew it Sophie was over due her feed by 1 hour but not at all bothered by it. She has been taking less and less milk since weaning 6 weeks ago and we will tomorrow be starting on the next stage stronger milk. So i decided to give her 1 less bottle today She golloped 8oz before bed when usually she would only of had 4 or 5 so basically she pretty much made up for the one she missed earlier in the day. so instead of 4x 5oz bottles she now has 2x 5oz and 1x 8oz before bed. is this ok??????

At 6 +mnths, once ur LO is on 3 solids, she only needs 18-21 oz of formula. Omar was on 3 bottles (5-6 oz) since he was 6 mnths old (he was only taking 1 solid). Some days he takes less around 12-15 oz. He established a 3 meal, 3 bottles routine at around 8 mnths.

If she's happy with it, it's ok hun. xx
