ok, so I looked back on topic for the last 6 months and couldn't really find what I ws after, so what the hey, just start up a new one. heres the LATEST drama (ha ha seems like I lurch from one to the other..)
#1 Jake eats 3 good feeds a day, but, but not too keen on his meat and veg at night, would rather have fruit than veg or meat and veg etc. Should I be bothered? #2 Wont B/f before a meal, just wants solids. Some times I give him a bottle, sometimes I just persevere, but it is sooooo hard. At the mo, the only B/F he is having is his middle of the night one, makes me sad!  is this normal? (plunket nurse said sometimes they go off b/f when teething?0
So how much bottle should I give him/ how much milk should he be drinking at this age? At the mo He has 2 240ml bottles (at care) and his B/f at 4.30am and I am giving him water as well. Should he be having more?? Thanks in advance!! ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

He's nearly 10kgs (about 9.7 or 9.8 with nappy and top on at plunket the other day)so he's not starving! I'd really like to keep feedinghim, but I really don't know how many times a day they are "meant" to feed if they are on 3 solid feeds a day?
I wondered if he is hungary and thats why hes waking but to be honest I think he is either lazy (dosent want to wait for let down) and not worried or just taking bottle if I offer it cos he can? I dunno *shakes head* Sleeping still BAD but not as bad as it was... ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

| I can't remember what jake ate honestly. We just went with the flow I think. I stopped breastfeeding at 4 months, so we had Jake on formula. I'm pretty sure he was having a bottle in the morning and night, and one or two during the day. He was a hungry wee lad so ate quite a bit. Jake loved his veges, but even now, is not so keen on meat all the time - he varies day to day. |

not sure how old jacob is, but at about 9 mths you can give solids before milk.
ok 7 myhs - sorry your ticker not working for this topic... i think i used to wait an hour between milk and solids and about 3-4 milk feeds a day ... but i only ever breastfed. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

i still b/f but ayja goes through days where she just mucks around with everything. I usually feed her first thing when she wakes up, then wait half an hour or so and give her solids then... it's good cos she's kinda dozy when she first wakes up - so drinks well and doesn't get too distracted. if she refuses her feed before solids, then i just try and top her up before she goes back down for a sleep instead. around sleep times seems to be the only time i have sucess with feeding her now - but that's just her age i guess, she loves her food too.
I think paris didi the same thing actually. Ayja likes her fruit a bit more than veges etc as well - but i found for paris, she loved her meat... each kid is different. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

oooh just went back and read something you said Jacobsmum..... about him either being lazy or something..
you might find that he has become accustomed to getting milk very easily from the bottles... therefore does get lazy and impateient cos it's a heck of alot more work and longer to wait for let down. Ayja does the same when i've been on placement and she's had heaps of bottles. (Family is pressuring me to stop B/fing... we'll see how well she goes while i'm on placement.. alot of changing routines but she did well last time) ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

| Han would only eat fruit and dessert while teething. Wouldn't have a bar of veg or meat. Possibly he's gone off his dinner for that reason?!?! |

| When Jake was teething with his molars he would only eat veges. He adored KFC potato and gravy. Probably not very good for him, but as it was the only thing he'd eat i figured oh well. |
