Hi, we are in the process of moving from BFing to FF as my girlie needs Neocate as she has multiple allergies to stuff in my milk.
We are mixing it 50:50 with EBM to help her adjust (she's rather 'sensitive' to change!) but her intake at each feed varies massively.
Last night at 11 on her dreamfeed (which she kinda woke up for ) she took just short of 4oz, at 3am I struggled to get 2.5oz into her and she didn't settle well, woke back up and I ended up using booby to settle her back off, she did sleep but it was very broken right up till her latest feed at 6am where she's just taken 2oz and refused more. She's now asleep.
Should I be worried? It seems so little compared to the amounts on the box? Anyone else switched over and had this? How do you cope with them missing the comfort of the boob? Do they settle into it quite fast? She's been exclusively on bottles about 36h.
Sorry, stress worried mum.
