 Topic: Milk question

Hey, a couple of questions for you, TIA for all replies!
Firstly, DD has reflux and is currently on Karicare AR, she is coming up to 6 months old and is on solids. She is just getting over a cold where her milk volume decreased, I'm not too worried as she is quite a heavy baby (8kg at 5 months) Plunket just said to make sure she has lots of water and that she would start drinking again when she felt better, anyways, for the last couple of days she has not been drinking as much at one feed preferring to have her solids and water instead, should I worry or does it seem that she is getting ready to drop another feed??
Secondly, WTF is going on with the high pitched screeching/laughing she does?? Is there a reason for it!?

Bob the screeching/laughing is just part of her development, she's found her voice, and all I can say is get some ear plugs! I love it though, cracks me up when he yells at the other kids to get their attention.
As long as she's get liquids I wouldn't worry to much. I know when I'm sick (like now) all I want is water, milk makes me feel worse. Maybe that's whats happening with her.

She has been doing the raspberries for a while now! I can cope with them, the screeching man, is such a ear piercing thing! I guess I'll go get some earplugs!! LOL

She's almost 6mos so pretty much anytime from now she may want her solids before her drinks. Run with her lead on this, as you say she doesn't have too much to worry about in the way of weight so she probably is starting to regulate how much she wants at a meal etc already. Kryssi was also a big baby and changed to solids first at 6mos. I guess the bigger bodies probably need it more.

hehe.. wait till she's 1 and when you do the 'no' thing she turns around and goes 'grrrrr' and 'bats at you' .. like 'whatever mum... you don't scare me!!!  
And yep I agree in regards to the formula, just make her bottles slightly less so you aren't wasting it, and if she starts drinking to the end, then you can increase again if necessary.
Hugs! :)
