Jayden is FF and today he has just been snacking, when I try and get him to eat more he gets angry and crys!
He didnt drink all his morning feed although in saying that he had a wopping 150ml in the middle of the night which is the most he has every drunk! then the two snack feeds he has had were only 2ish hours apart but were just over half of what he would normally have.... Im worried hes not drinking enough today...but hes happy in himself so im pretty sure hes not sick, hes been having a lovely time playing and chatting away etc does anyone elses babys snack and how do you get them out of it? Ive just put him down to sleep so hoping hes going to wake up starving and have a good feed!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">    [/url]

To get out of the snacking thing you just need to extend the time between feeds. And it doesn't have to be by much either.
For example if you are feeding every 2 hours, push it out to 2 hrs and 15 mins today, then maybe 2 and 1/2hrs tomorrow. Then with the bigger gap between the feeds he will probably have a bit more at each feed. But don't worry much, they eat as much as they need. |
