reducing amount of formula milk intake

[aparna123]

my baby is 12 weeks early. he is 4 months uncorrected. he used to take 120 mls easily , but reduced to 100 mls coz of reflux(he is on gaviscon),thought i am pushing him lot. but now he takes 60mls easily and after that he is fussy, pushes the bottle. if i push him he gags and throws all out with force.he doesn't look hungry even in 4 hrs gap. Burping doen't even help.I m worried about his milk intake. what could be the reason? any suggestion?

The twins have never ever taken more than 5oz sometimes they only used to drink 2oz here and there or 3oz. Not often did they complete a bottle.
I wouldnt worry.

But if you are still worried ring your consultant and ask if it is ok. x

Molly was never a big milk drinker. From about 3 months onwards she would only ever drink a MAX of 3oz at a time, and never appeared hungry. She still put on weight fine, and I weaned at 17 weeks actual as I was concerned about her milk intake (on advice of my paediatrician). Molly always had a lot of trouble bringing up wind, and was a lot happier after starting weaning. If you're concerned then speak to someone about it, but he may just have a small appetite.

I weaned the twins at 16 weeks (actual age) cos me and consultant agreed they only took 5oz maximum so he said try them and they got on so well we have never looked back x

Best thing we ever did too. Molly was always in such discomfort drinking so much milk, and she loved her food!

I also think we cant treat them as prems forever and soon they arent going to be classed as prems..
