SMA white

[reallytinyamy]

Morning ladies!

I was giving Chloe her 7oz at 3am and thought I needed some advice. She is having sMA gold at the moment and eats until she refuses anymore, but after 2 hours she is screaming for more. I am thinking of changing to SMA white. HAs anyone else done this? Has it made a difference? Do I have to change gradually or can I just start giving white instead as it is the same brand?

I gave Oscar SMA white at about Chole's age and it really disagreed with him.
It doesnt mean that Chloe will have the same problem, just be aware. I would buy cartons first, if you decide to try it, just in case.
I gave oscar a carton and it made him projectile vomit, and very grumpy. He is still on SMA gold now, the times between feed gradually extended as he got older.
It says white is ok from birth, but have a chat with your health visitor. Ours said not before 3 months, have no idea why

good luck x

It didn't work for my friend. It just made her baby eat less and want food so often she ended up eating more anyway. Her baby is now in 8oz and happy.

yeah I agree. When Oscar was 4 months old I tryed him again and found it didnt work still. he didnt go any longer between feed

thanks girls. I would ask HV but I dont have one any more!!!

I will perhaps try a couple of cartons but not expect it to make a difference

I would just give her what she wants. A HV would disagree, but I asked a nurse and she said that babies decide what they need, and even if they have more than what they need, it just comes back up anyway!!

toria, that is what my heart tells me to do, but my head is telling me she is eating far too much. Hell, why don't they come with instructions!?

Rocco is on SMA white working out great for him but it didn't agree with my nephew at all

jacob is 6 weeks and he has been on sma white for a week, for the first couple days he went a bit loner between feeds but is now taking 5-6oz every 3 hrs. think he just a hungary baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Babies will lose any excess weight when they start toddling, also, if her diet is such that she will be a chubby toddler, you can control her food intake much more when she's on solids than you can with Milk.

chloe had some white this morning, was very unsettled afterwards and was then sick. She has since not slept all day...she had another feed of white but was still unsettled- just had gold and fallen asleep! not sure what to do now!!!
