I usually feed One side when A wakes up from a nap and then either watch for hunger signs after about thirty minutes or feed the other side right before her next nap.</p> <p>On another note that's awesome that breastfeeding is going well for you! And Kellymom has some awesome info on weaning from supplements if you need it :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-when-baby-is-sttn#post-549133 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:28:15 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 549133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I sure hope so, for your sake! I know that has to be SO much work and so frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-when-baby-is-sttn#post-549127 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:25:47 +0000 DillonLion 549127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: yeah that's a good idea. Maybe we can finally cut back on the formula?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-when-baby-is-sttn#post-549089 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:15:01 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 549089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like it could be one of two things. Either she's already pretty full after she finishes nursing, and then the formula makes her overfull OR it's just too much at one time. Babies will always let you know when they're hungry, so I wouldn't worry about making up for the feedings she's not waking for overnight. </p> <p>Do you think you still need to supplement with formula? Maybe try not offering the formula and see if she lets you know she's still hungry in the next 30 min. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-when-baby-is-sttn#post-549051 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:01:39 +0000 DillonLion 549051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO sleeps 12 hours a night and doesn't eat that entire time. I've been attempting to compensate for that by feeding on demand throughout the day (we do about half breastmilk and half formula). But we are having so major spit up issues. I know it always seems like they are spitting up a ton when it isn't really that much but we are soaking multiple outfits and bibs a day. and I'm getting frequently covered in tons of undigested spit up. I'm not sure how much is too much. She doesnt seem overly fussy except for a minute or two right before. I don't know if I should cut down on the amount of formula I'm giving her, but since she sleeps so long at night I want to make sure she gets in enough calories. Should I try feeding her less? Smaller quantity more frequently? Resign to being covered in spit up? Anyone else go through this? (LO will be 10 weeks tomorrow and has been STTN for 3-4 weeks. She's gaining and growing normally. </p>
