FF - how much?

My DD has only been taking, on average about 640mls a day of formula. She sleeps right through the night (10-12hours) and in her awake times is chirpy and smiley. She has reflux which has become quite bad recently.

For about a week she was taking up around 750mls, but then it dropped again this week.

She only gained 600grms in a month, the Plunket nurse didn't seem too concerned.
DD seems full and contended after a feed, but I'm worried about her weight gain....should I be? Or does this sound perfectly normal??

The best piece of advice I had was to think about yourself. Some days you feel hungry and some days you don't. It's just the same for your baby.

The weight gain is just perfect. I so stressed aout about DD#1 that I ended up with formula feeding her as my breast milk dried up due to stress. With DD#2 I was a lot less worried about weight gain and have managed to feed her to 7 months.

One thing I learnt is that the "guidelines" are very flexible. We have a lot of different sizes genetically in our country. Parts of our population are quite large and other parts are quite small.   The best thing is to see if your baby is healthy and happy. If this is the case then you are doing a great job as a mum. Disregard those "guidelines" and go by how your baby is. Remember they all get to the "right" size at some point.

My DD takes about 500ml a day, when they want her on 1000ml - there's no way she'll take it, she'd rather starve. She's never liked milk since the reflux kicked in at 2 weeks though.

But... she doesn't sleep through - 5 times a night she generally wakes. Not cool at all!
