hungry baby milk?

[Mummatobe]

when did you put your lo on hungry baby milk? and is it ok to go from (sma up to 6 months) straight on to hungry baby?

if i put lo on hungry baby? does it fill them up for longer will she still go 4 hours between feeds?

You dont have to use hungry baby at all we dont use ut and i dont plan on doing they only advise using it if lo is drinking 9oz of stage 1 milk less than every 3 hours

How much is your lo having???

And i dont know about moving id guess youd just change but

HB milk is for babies who are too young for weaning, but are drinking large volumes of milk, very regularly. Even then, it doesn't always work and some babies don't get on with it.

If you do decide to change then you would just switch straight over.

As the others have said HB milk is for babies that are too young for weaning but drinking 9+ oz of milk every 2 hours or so.

No milk is 'upto 6 months' Its 0-12months but they like you to think you need follow on (stage 2/ 6month+) milk, but you dont, its there so they can advertise their milks as they cant advertise stage 1 milk.

We switched our LO to hungry baby milk at 4 weeks old and hes been even better ever since - at 8 weeks he now happily goes 4 hous during the day and 8 at night x

8 weeks he was having 50-60oz in a day and his little body couldn't cope he was v angry and full of poop and would spend his day guzzling and pooping and not much else. we did it gradually though one bottle at night first

Ive never understood the aspect of Hungry baby milk, we have never needed it, the instructions certainly on the side of the HIPP Organic give guides for weight and quanities of bottles (I guess its if your baby if going over this aspect) but we have gone from Stage 1 food to weaning xx

We haven't used it even though LO goes through days of drinking loads! It then settles down - so could be a growth spurt? I think HB milk is harder to digest so keeps them fuller for longer. X

i have been using hipp hungry baby for 8 weeks to delay weaning as he was having 4oz every 2 hours - he now goes around 3 to 3.5 hours and does 6 oz - it shouldnt really be used to make them go longer between feeds as it means they are not getting as much milk as they need

We were told to switch by our PHN as LO was taking 6 X 6oz bottles at six weeks which was never filling him.

I have to say that all the hungery baby formula did for us was satisy him. He never went any longer between feeds and never wanted any less formula.

Also my PHN told me to move him back as soon as LO is establised with solids as a combination of the too can cause weight issues for the baby.
