Hungrier baby Milk

[Beth09]

If your LO is on this, how old are they? How much do they have and how long do they go between feeds? Thanks x

I was just going to post something similar. My lo has gone on it today on my hv's advice. He is 4 weeks old, and taking 6oz of the normal stuff and still screaming for more after, and only going 3 hours between feeds. Hes had one feed of the hungry baby stuff so far, and he took 6oz as he usually would, but he did look very full and more satisfied after. Would be interested to know if it has made your lo's go longer between feeds or if just reduces the amount they take? xx

I've been giving Jude it since he was 2 weeks old (so only for past 3 days!) But i'm finding its making alot of difference personally, if i manage to wake him up when he falls asleep during the bottle and make him take the full 5oz he will sleep for at least 4 hours which is fab! x

OMG! 5 oz? I'm so jealous. Mine won't hardly ever take more than 3 oz (takes a bloody hour) and she's 9 weeks today. We use it at night but she will only take maximum 2 oz a time. Last night we got her to sleep at 10.15 and she still woke up at 12, 3, 5, 7 and 9.

I put Harriet on hungry baby as she did always seem hungry...i only gave her two bottles of it a day tho starting at about 4 weeks.
i stopped giving it to her about 2 weeks ago, and since not being on it tho, she has slept better, poo's better (think it was always a bit painful, bless her) and is generally happier!! i really think it was just too heavy for her. alot of HV's dont recommend using it until at least 2 months if u really have to use it at all.

ive found that feeding on demand has worked so much better for us both - she might only go 2 hours between feeds in the day, but then goes about 6 hours at night so works well.

I started using Cow & Gate 2 'hungrier babies' a week ago, Leah is 3 weeks old and was trying to drink 7oz of C&g1 at 2 weeks. As I had lots of 1 left, Ive been mixing the two formulas and a week later its still working, and Ive got her on 4 hour feeds, although she sometimes goes 5 hours. Mind you, the HV wasnt impressed, but I told her its working for us, and Leah is happy.

I started Archie on it properly about 5 months, didnt make a difference tbh and he'd gone onto the follow on a month later anyway and combined with solids he seems happier x

Leah regularly takes 6-8 ozs every 2-3 hrs during the day so i tried the hungry baby milk before bed a few nights ago - big mistake! Instead of taking 8 ozs which she always does before bed, she only took 6 1/2 and refused any more - thought great, it's filled her up quicker without her getting so full (it still amazes me how her little tummy can fit in 8ozs milk!) - half an hour later, screaming her head off (she always goes to bed without a problem) - tried winding her, cuddling her, soothing her, changed her bum - nope, she wanted more food and took 4 more ozs of the normal milk and bobs your uncle, went straight to sleep after that. so in my eyes, i'm sticking to feeding her normal milk how ever often she feels she needs it, i just have one hungry baby!!! xxx
