My LO is 13wks 4days old and was on SMA hungry baby at 2wks old, we weaned her back onto SMA gold at 9wks as she was very constipated and seemed very very uncomfortable and often distressed, shes much happier now however shes drinking 7oz @8:30am, 7oz@midday, 7oz@3pm then btween 9and 11oz before bed at 7pm, she sleeps through (7:30-7:30) so am pleased about that and know she prob isnt hungry but occassionally drains her bottles and has now started to lose weight, she weighed 12lb4oz@8wks, 13lb5.5oz@11wks then 13lbs2oz@13wks, HV not happy but i said shes drinking plenty of formula, we put her bottles up from 6oz to 7oz a week before she got weighed so shes been having even more than usual and lost weight!
She seems ok after a bottle but not always content and i cant help but think is it worth weaning early? i will speak to my HV when i see her on thurs but its always nice to get other mummys opinions that aren't so 'from the book' lol!
Im well aware 'they' say not to wean till they are 6mnths but i know plenty of ppl who have weaned earlier and babies are much more content than my little one, i wirry she will start gettin poorly if she continues to drop weight and HV may assume im underfeeding whichy of course im not!
Advice? Any of your babies done this? Anyone weaned early? xx
