Hi all
I need some advice.
Earl has a very good apetite and I'm so pleased at how he is thriving. At the moment he tahes 43oz of milk through the day, but this is going to have to go up shortly. He has just started to go 3 hours between feeds - He's 14weeks old.
I had desperately wanted to BLW but we hit upon a snag as Earl can't have HB milk. We tried to put him on it about 3-4 weeks ago and it was a nightmare and made him poorly. I don't fancy trying lots of different milks when his SMA 1 works so well for him.
Can I just keep giving him milk in larger amounts (8oz is the max my bottles hold) or more frequently in orde to get him to as close as possible to 26 weeks? Or is my hand being forced to start him on small amounts of puree/cereal? I've read that at 4 months their apetites start to calm and they start to make the move towards 3 meals per day (very slowly of course) in their milk consumption. Is this true? Am I worrying for nothing? (my speciality ) Has anyone started with traditional then swapped over to BLW entirely?
Any advice you have please ladies.
Thank you
