But you have a good point - maybe if he even got another small bottle mid day he would not wake at night. When do you plan to do solids? That could impact things as well. hellobeeboston on "Is LO getting enough to eat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lo-getting-enough-to-eat#post-677580 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 11:44:09 +0000 hellobeeboston 677580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @regberadaisy: yeah, she has some opinions of her own (which is kinda annoying) - but the way she sees it is with the long naps he doesn't need the extra bottle. I always give her 3 just in case, but she only ever gives him two.... i sorta just wonder if he would STTN & not do the 2am-ish feed if he had that one extra bottle during the day? regberadaisy on "Is LO getting enough to eat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lo-getting-enough-to-eat#post-677571 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 11:38:50 +0000 regberadaisy 677571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think it depends because every baby's intake is so different. Has she tried offering that third bottle before and he did not take it? Or is *she* assuming he doesn't need the third bottle? Looking at his schedule it does seem he might be OK with just the two 5oz bottles. hellobeeboston on "Is LO getting enough to eat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lo-getting-enough-to-eat#post-677569 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 11:36:53 +0000 hellobeeboston 677569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @winniebee: oh right, duh --- He is 5 months old, and he weighs around 16 or 17 lbs. winniebee on "Is LO getting enough to eat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lo-getting-enough-to-eat#post-677541 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 11:23:02 +0000 winniebee 677541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ How old is your LO? Maybe up the bottle amounts during the day? My son had 5 bottles a day and 3 solid meals and a snack at 10.5 mos. hellobeeboston on "Is LO getting enough to eat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lo-getting-enough-to-eat#post-677511 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 11:06:48 +0000 hellobeeboston 677511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Hi all, just looking for a little advice - there was a thread yesterday that got me thinking about this.... I'm a WOHM, and LO goes to my neighbor's house each day. I started him out with 3 bottles, but she keeps only giving him 2 and seems to think that's all he needs since he's not acting hungry, but I keep wondering if he should get more, not sure when though, here is a ROUGH schedule of one day of eating: 2/3am - Nurse 7am - Nurse 8:30 - SOMETIMES nurse before I go to work Nap: 1.5-2 hrs Bottle (4-5oz) 11:30 Nap 1.5-2 hrs Bottle (4-5 oz) 3:30/4ish Nurse: 6 or 6:30 Nurse to bed: 7:30 or 8 What do you guys think???
